customize activity toolbar

This has been suggested before I think a long time ago although nothing came of it, so I thought I'd bring it up again.. any chance of being able to customize the activity toolbar in the near future? (to link to an internal notepad window or whatever)

Actually what would be really nice is to use the view menu to not only select which toolbars you'd like up, but also to select which icons in each toolbar you want to display and the toolbar would resize accordingly. These would then save as global properties presumably.. purely cosmetic I know, so not a major.

..on thinking a bit more, just having one new customizable toolbar would be fine as you could use the buttons for whatever you wanted (just prog in ctrl+k for connect, ctrl+1 for lst world window etc etc) and then do away with the other toolbars altogether.. and if you could choose which icon is to be used for each button as well.. heh that would rock :) ..in fact, would this be able to be done as a plugin even?

These are nice ideas but we are heading into "program bloat" area now, where a program that works fine starts to grow and grow as people want to tweak the edges of it. Maybe later. :)

Since the toolbar is one of those Microsoft common controls (I think), is it possible to make it dynamically loaded? That way, people could provide a replacement custom control, that implements the same interface as the current toolbar - e.g. it understands the events 'new activity on world 1', 'click on world 3' etc. - but has other custom behavior?

Dunno if this is even possible, I don't know a whole lot about Windows GUI programming and custom controls and all that. Just a random idea. :)

Although, one thing that would be nice, would just be another toolbar that works exactly the same as the first, but is just used to access the world's notepad, and not the world itself. Is that all that bad? :)

Nods Nick re bloat, which is why it would be nice as an optional plugin :) Unfortunately I don't know how to code something like that :/
