[Bf-committers] Tool Shelf Toggling On/Off Tab Mockup

[Luke Frisken]

Nice idea. It is an issue that needs improvement.
I only have one suggestion. Instead of vertical writing, which as you
say would take work to implement, perhaps the use of clear and
appropriate icons might be easier to recognise in a hurry than writing
turned on the side. I think this is important. Square icons would also
use up much less screen real estate. Although it might take a little
more effort to learn what the icons mean, I think the benefits would
outweigh that. Also tooltips when you hover the mouse over them would
certainly help to alleviate that possible problem.
