Sadly there's no key to restore a minimised header! (they're all to easy to close when using a tablet with no way to restore in the cycles branch! (for headers I'd like to see the old 2.49 way and disable minimising them....)
ON TOPIC, I'd prefer tool props to be its own panel.... it's too small when at the bottom of the toolshelf I always use F6 in preference.... The toolshelf itself is invaluable in paint, sculpt etc but something I don't use ever when modelling... the operator panel on the other hand is something I'd very much like to have on screen all the time when modelling but hardly ever when painting! I only mention to illustrate that people are different and like different things and a flexible UI should accommodate ;-) On 13/06/11 10:01, M.G.
