There are going to be three "toolbars" in Inkscape:
1. Under the menu, horizontal, with buttons for common non-tool-specific operations such as Open, Save, etc.
2. Below 1, horizontal, with too-specific buttons and controls (exists now and is called "top panel" or "aux toolbar").
3. Vertical at the left, with tool buttons.
The question is: How to call them? They are all "toolbars" technically but using the word "toolbar" without distinction is going to be very confusing. Even using "toolbar" for 3 only is going to be confusing because people are used to calling "toolbars" any horizontal rows of buttons.
So the names need to be unique but at the same time descriptive and short. Most importantly, they must stick. "Top panel" for 2 did not stick, somehow.
Here is the best I could think of:
1. Commands bar 2. Tool controls bar 3. Toolbox
Any other ideas?
