Sounds worth a shot, at least for the piano/b&b editors. Not that I'm too fond of stuff jumping around under the pointer causing misclicks, but I'm assuming this would be an optional feature, or at least tweakable? > On 06/25/2014 12:37 PM, Raine M.

Oh yeah, the scope. Let's just drop it. Wasting space on eyecandy... :) More seriously: I just threw those buttons in as examples of duplicate functionality that would be easy to hide "permanently". And it's not like you click "new" often enough that it needs a button of its own.

I agree, no point in adding show/hide before that then. I assume it's a pretty complete rebuild, from what I've seen of the "toolbar" code? -- [email protected] softrabbit on #lmms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ LMMS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmms-devel
