Oh, and to make Bulia happy, I had done this one too: <group small="0" id="toolbox" />
Just make that a "1" to turn the top toolbar 'small' instead of 'large'
...your rationale for not defaulting to "small" being...?
Being that we were doing things wrong before. That was a main toolbar, but we were using a strange size. Also... the "small" size is 16 with the default Bluecurve theme, and "large" is 24. We were hardcoding things to 20. Given that the size we had was exactly in between those, I rounded in favor of the HIG.
I'd prefer we didn't try to mingle cleaning up the code and evaluating UI changes.
Let's get the code cleaned up so it yields (as close as is reasonably possible) the same appearance/behavior as before, and then we can debate changes to the UI.
Yes, I was trying to do that mainly. However this was one of the cases where we were doing things so strangely, they didn't map directly into any of the standard ways. If there is a standard way that gets us the same behavior, I'd go for that.
In general, however, the main UI approach should be to dump all kludges and move to using things cleanly using the proper mechanism. Then see if we can tweak those in standard ways to get the same look. Yes, we should default to as close as we were, but we need to do things cleanly internally first. This will also help with moving in the new UI stuff, and making things more configurable moving forwards.
