1.) Inkscape Menu - I agree with Bryce in that it should totally be removed as the normal inclination of power users is to go for the File menu.
Already done in CVS as of this writing.
2.) Secondary Toolbar + Annoying Canvas Moving - I really think that the secondary toolbar should never go away.
Also done in CVS now. It actually never went away, just shrunk to zero size because there was nothing in it, so I set a minimum size of ~28 pixels.
Also, I think that the tools in the secondary toolbar need to be differentiated as options extending from the primary toolbar's selected tool. One way to do this might be to give more space on the left of the secondary toolbar. Maybe the secondary toolbar should have a darker gray underneath the buttons, or should be a smaller size.
There are separate #defines for the main toolbox button size versus the auxiliary toolbox button size in toolbox.c for just this purpose.
- Tool from Toolbar, Selection Not Obvious - It is not obvious once a
tool is selected that it is selected, visually. Maybe the tools are too close together, but I honestly can't tell from the interface once I've clicked a tool either primary or secondary. The bevel might not be enough, or the shade of gray is too light. FIX: Upon selection of a tool, the shade of the tool selected should be much darker.
This is because Sodipodi rolled its own button widgets instead of using the standard ones; hopefully someone will be motivated to switch us back. It's on my list of things to do, but I have bigger priorities at the moment.
Coders wanted. Patches welcome.
