Toolbars Overview

Here we have a proposed Toolbars Overview page, like we have for menus and preferences. I found it disconcerting that menus and preferences have overview pages but toolbars and project window don't. The only link to this page is above the list of toolbars in the reference section of the main page.
This is pretty ugly, but I think it would look OK if all the images were from the same OS.

ToDo - decide if we want this page at all; if so how we want it to look. Also decide on consistent look for the toolbar family of pages.

I think this is a valuable page. I added a picture for the Device toolbar. As far as "ugly" and looking better if all the images were from the same OS, I propose that each toolbar have three images (or more, depending), one each from Mac, Linux and Windows..

Ed, your Device Toolbar image is kind of wide, and has nothing in the menus. Could you upload a replacement image that is narrower and has something selected in the menus - I think that might make more sense. As for 3 versions ... I don't know - policy for the manual is that all images are from Windows. We certainly can't carry through with "3 images one for each OS" in other parts of the manual. I think if we had updated images from Vista that would be OK - they're really not that different. Mac (and possibly Linux) users are used to reading manuals with Windows UI images :-)
I've include a MacOS Device toolbar so we can see what this might look like. - Bill
