[Bf-funboard] Menus in all windows and moving the release date back.

The thing I don't like about the menus though is that they take up quite a
lot of space.... maybe there could be a nearby icon that hides the menus
next to it... I think the spacebox toolbox should eventually be totally
context sensitive and show the available options in other places, like the
IPO window, etc. Essentially like the menus, though the toolbox doesn't take
up any screenspace when not being used, and it can be fancier than a regular
menu (it could be radial, etc)

I agree!

Or you could release it on time could call this "2.30 beta" or "2.30 alpha".

Or the things could disappear.

> 4, Buttons renamed and moved around
That could be too much of a change - it would mean 2 changes - the new GUI
plus the renames and rearrangement of buttons.
Also it would delay the release quite a while.
