hi Stippi,whats your general thought about toolbars? For me toolbar and menubar are clashing a bit. They basically do the same but use twice as much space. For example, tracker is very space efficient with just a menu. No doubt, toolbars are easy to use and give a quick access to the core functions but are not able to show all the option accessible in a large menu.
Since there is no clear toolbar concept in haiku or R5 we might thought about it how to do it in the best way. Think a ribbon like approach would not be an option since it use lot more space and makes things quite complicated. Maybe a combination of menu- and toolbar would be a solution? e.g. a dropdown menu at the left of the bar containing the complete menu; right of this dropdown menu could be the icon toolbar located...
In case of showimage I would prefer to show as much as possible of the image. Especially some linux viewer are very bad at this point.

Clemens
