i have no idea.
right now i just have a slightly modified default button bar. it fills the
bottom edge of my screen. i want to eventually make it vertical on the right
side...but i haven't got the time right now (exams week after next...'nuf
said).
as for all those other options, i don't see myself using them (though
anything is possible), so all i really care about right now is the two
configs i'm looking at.
