I've always had mixed feelings about this tongue
Over the years I got used to Kinovea not having a main toolbar… but well, I guess they are popular for a reason.

This will probably be tested in next experimental version, don't hesitate to speak your mind whatever you think.

I do understand the benefits of a toolbar. It would make learning about the program for beginners more intuitive (also less mouse clicking).

However, my main concern with a toolbar is that it would decrease the size of the viewing area. Maybe one could choose whether to have a toolbar, similar to the file explorer sidebar.

As long as the toolbar can be repositioned (e.g. put at side of screen) it should not reduce the image size, well not on widescreens at least.

Would it be possible to aim to remove the classical menu with a toolbar/tabbed toolbar/basic ribbon?  This is the approach being adapted in Windows 7 as part of the UI update and being encouraged to programmers now.
