Well, the point is, they aren't actually redundant :)
use complete words in the tool's style and keep F and S in the status bar.
I don't think making them different will really help the newbie user. I think it will just add another hard to explain weirdness.
Another thought thank come to mind regarding this redundancy is to move the status bar swatches at the end of the tool's style bar for all tools. I am not thinking at modifying all tool's style bars but at adding a new tool bar (with F and S swatches with complete label + opacity spin button and maybe a blur spin button) next to the tool's style's bar.
Yes, but, as I said before, this makes little sense until we have easily draggable and rearrangeable toolbars (something GTK is still missing, what a shame). Then we could have the current style indicator and the layers widget in small toolbars of their own that could be placed anywhere.
