The main reason why most toolbars aren't vertical is because most

text horizontally, not vertically, to make it simple to read.

Make buttons the way Firefox/Thunderbird do - text label below the icon - then let the user choose. For people with large widescreen monitors, having a wide(r) vertical toolbar wide enough to hold both the button icon and the text label would be perfectly fine. -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+help@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
