You mostly need the ability to have second level (maybe more, I don't use the math panel much), toolbar/menu popups (do the exist by chance ?) and then just implement the math panel's buttons/menus on the toolbar. You do need to be able to control the size of the popup toolbar though (number of rows/columns) If someone can point me to where the ui file parsing and toolbar building code is in lyx and tell me if QT has this ability (preferably point me to documentation), I may have some time to take on the challenge > -Jan > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. >
