Much improved over DP 6.

The menu itself still looks odd and is quite fidgety to use, as you'll 
see when you get back into the office at your Ubuntu machine.  Sometimes 
it's possible to select the submenu, but takes a lot of tries for it to 
pop out.

The menu has only one submenu, suggesting perhaps those items might be 
in the primary menu.  And the menu reads "Header / Footer Size", but 
only a header is visible.

But when I'm able to select the items in the submenu, in this latest 
build it does let me alter the size of the icons.

Given the very significant usability boost with the larger size, have 
you considered making that the default?

In fact, I wouldn't mind if there was an option for even one size larger.
