2016-08-17 09:12:21 Alexander description Forgive me if it's not really a bug per se, but it's nonetheless an annoyance and makes Inkscape - a technically amazing application - a bit unpleasant to work with. The icons in the toolbar are MUCH too crammed, there is hardly any vertical spacing / margin at all (at least on Windows 7) between them. Please make them at least 15 or 20 pixels apart. There's enough vertical space, and it will be much easier to scan and find the right tool. Cheers from a UI/UX guy, and thank you very very much for Inkscape! Forgive me if it's not really a bug per se, but it's nonetheless an annoyance and makes Inkscape - a technically amazing application - a bit unpleasant to work with. The icons in the left toolbar ("Toolbox") are MUCH too crammed, there is hardly any vertical spacing / margin at all (at least on Windows 7) between them. Please make them at least 15 or 20 pixels apart. There's enough vertical space, and it will be much easier to scan and find the right tool. This also applies to other areas where several icons next to each other are used. Also, the on/off state is very hard to discern at first glance, for example, for the snapping toggles. Cheers from a UI/UX guy, and thank you very very much for Inkscape!
