      how hard would it be to create a ruby that creates a single floating toolbar containing all the tools installed in one panel?

      install a new ruby, run the panel ruby to add the new tool... the panel floating so there's no workspace muckup..

      just pulling this outta the air so don't take to seriously if it's a bad idea 😉

        Or have all toolbars hidden hitting f11 shows them and hides them again?

          I think that one goes in the 'nice in theory but doesnt work in practice' pile. The major flaw that comes to mind is scrambled ruby scripts which cant be modified in any way unless you can get hold of the original file, but then that rather defeats the point of scrambling it.

            I'm becoming crazy...after three days of work under SU, I'm afraid of minimizing any window...whatever the program I'm using, I'm juste thinking in my head "Don't do that you idiot !! You'll have to reorganize all your toolbars !!"...but then I realize that I'm not in SU and I can breathe freely...please Google...do something for me, I'm sick !!

              It's certainly possible to replace most toolbars with a single window. I have taken to using a horrible, hacked-up, hand-coded WebDialog to replace all my Toolbars.

              I think a4chitect's Launchit has a lot of potential.

              Hi

                        So, five years later, SU's handling of toolbars still sucks. What exactly is it we're paying for if the devs ignore user issues with the most basic functionality?
