Description
This should be very simple to implement. I would just like to toolbar buttons that will toggle the Layout View option (Show/Hide Sources View, Show/Hide Entries View, and Expand/Shrink Note View). I love to Expand Note View when I am writing but I can never remember the shortcut for it. Be faster to hit a toolbar button than drill down into the menu bar for it.
Updates
The trick with this is finding nice icons that match the rest of Mori. If someone can send me nice icons to represent the different view layout settings I'd be happy to turn them into toolbar icons.
I may be able to come up with something for you. I can whip something up in Photoshop and send you a PSD. What dimensions do you need them in?
That just leaves the question of what to design. I can do one that looks like a Mori window with just the Note View for the Expand/Shrink Note View one. The Show/Hide Source View one could just have the Note view and the Entries view showing. The last one could just have source and note showing. Widescreen mode would be pretty easy if you want to include it as well. Not sure about the show header and footer ones though (probably not even needed).
toolbar buttons sizes are 32*32 pixels, though the actually image doesn't necessarily have to take up all that space.

I have made the icons and attached them. I had forgotten just how hard it is to make a 32x32 icon look decent. Hopefully these are good enough. I made five icons: one for standard with all views, one widescreen with all views, one standard with just entries and note, one widescreen with just entries and note, and one that will work for standard and widescreen source and note. If I missed something just let me know.
Very nice! (Add a .zip extension to the download, and it'll extract a folder called 'Mori Toolbar Icons'.)
Yes, I have to agree that these are very nice icons, much better then I expected after you asked what size toolbar icons need to be :)
I've these buttons (along with quite a few other GUI bits) for the next release. Currently the buttons are a little strange though. At the moment (i’m ignoring widescreen for right now) I have two toolbar buttons. One Shows/Hides the sources view, and one Shows/Hides the entries view. The toolbar image is changed to look like what the interface would look like after you press the button. This “seemed” like a good idea, since it mean you only needed two buttons, but I’m starting to think it’s a bit to confusing.
Anyway try this out in the next release, and let me know what needs fixing.
I do a bit of graphic design from time to time I just didn't know what size the toolbar icons were ;)
Yeah I was thinking about how the behavior might work and I realized that it could be a bit confusing which is why I made all the different versions. Looking forward to testing it out in the next version.
