Toolbar and button bar unification

Currently have button farm. And will only have more buttons in the future.

  • Will want a bundle_info.xml way of listing the buttons provided by a bundle
  • May also want to be able to dynamically add/remove buttons?
  • Need way to disable/enable buttons so the usable buttons can be context sensitive (eg., mouse modes)

Prototype with Roger Pincombe's Office 2010 Style Ribbon Toolbar in HTML/CSS/JS

  • buttons are hardcoded into section
  • remove text hints with context menu
  • balloon help for icons
  • have to patch to fix size/location/color of balloon help
  • not updated since 2011 (except README.md)

Bugs / Enhancements

  • section text that has letters with descenders have the descenders clipped
  • want colors to match Qt UI elements
  • icons should have transparent backgrounds
  • hintless version should resize to lower height
  • should hintless version (optionally?) have 2 rows of smaller buttons?
