#33 Toolbars could be improved

[Drew Noakes]

The current "Pause" and "Resume" buttons on the toolbar
are confusing. At present, they don't indicate the
current state. Perhaps the inapplicable one should be
greyed out. Alternatively (and my preferred approach),
replace both buttons with a single button that toggles
between a "Play" and "Pause" icon, rather than the red
circle which indicates something terminal.

The toolbar also taks a lot of space at the top of the
form -- space that could be devoted to the main display
area. I can't find a way to turn off all the toolbars.

It'd be handy to have toggle buttons to control:
- word wrap
- beep on change
- show only hot lines

An icon to tile/cascade windows would also be nice.

Thanks.

Hi,

I agree with your remarks - the pause/play controls aren't
very good! They were hacked in quickly, and I've not really
looked at them since.

I like your suggestions for buttons to control other
settings. I'll try to get round to them soon.

Thanks for your comments,

Paul.
