New Write primary toolbar icon design does not all fit in the toolbar

[garycmartin]

Writes primary toolbar for the new toolbar design has too many icons added so that 4 of them have fallen off into a drop down menu. Also note that the overflow palette is not showing any text names for the overflowing secondary toolbar icons (just blank empty space).

What screen resolution do you use?

I tested it on 1024x768 with 72 scaling(I think 100 scaling is useless in 1024x768 mode)

I use 1200x900 with 100 scaling to match XO display.

FWIW: The equivalent screen dimensions for 72 scaling would be 864x553 (if I got my maths right). Your 1024x786 should really set scaling to 85, but only 72 or 100 is supported :-(

From the HIG, we have 14 cells for the toolbar:

HIG grid added so you can see the 16 locations (14 usable).

Alsroot's new Write layout now fits correctly – the main goal of getting the 'Stop' icon always visible is achieved :-) I'll have a longer think about the Write set of primary tools as I think (now that it looks like this is the accepted design?), that we can pick a better top level set. FWIW I've attached a screen shot of the Write toolbar, before alsroot's latest change, with the HIG grid marked on it. Thanks for the reminder Tomeu, I knew it was documented somewhere :-)
