Svg Icon Tool

[Ralph DiMola]

Mike,
I have used my own version of the navbar widget for years. I added an option to enlarge/vertically justify the icon if there is no label and eliminated the "new item" thingy. I think the stock widget already lets you select the zero option. I added that back before the stock widget let you do it. What changes/enhancements are you looking for?

I also have LCS routines to store the navbar options as a custom property array. I have handlers to add/delete/change option text and icons via script for a contextual UI. They are not documented or polished but if there is any interest I will look into it.

Although, as long as we're having this discussion, the navBar is higher priority, so hit that, first.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
