IMHO we should have another combo in the (one) toolbar. Char Styles should conceptually be handled like paragraph styles. I know, there is not much place, but we can remove the noun, emph and font-free buttons, and we should default to 2 toolbars anyway. > But since this is really only a halfway > house to what we really want, that might not be suitable.

WRT the physical appearance, I'd strongly vote against the collapsable approach. Collapsables are o.k. for text on another level than the main text (i.e. footnotes, margins, notes, ert etc.), but not for parts of the main text. Apart from that, the screen is already cluttered enough with boxes and stuff. Perhaps it's only me, but this seriously disturbs me. I think the conglomerate-like solution (where the content description can be switched off) would fit very much to LyX's philosophy and is user friendly. But if I understand Martin, the current solution is only interim anyway. Regards, Jürgen > regards > john
