i can think of a couple solutions:

* only show the useful actions there; e.g. we don't need zoom out on every=

containment, right? in fact, as we don't have a useful different (besides s=
ize)=20
between the two zoomed out levels, for now we could just not show zoom out=
=20
when we're already zoomed out. lock widgets probably isn't necesary either.=
=20
that would just leave add widgets, add activity, and settings.

* add activity is, like zoom out and lock widgets global to the canvas. i'm=
=20
not exactly how to do this (visually) yet, but a global toolbox when zoomed=
=20
out that has these canvas-global options on it would make sense.

* use icons only or icon+iconText()? we use a plus for buth Add Widgts and =
Add=20
Activity, though. a global options box would solve this, but it could at le=
ast=20
be shortened in the immediate by "+ Widgets" "+ Activity" where the + is th=
e=20
icon. the settings could certainly be icon-only (so no iconText()). icon's=
=20
only with tooltips (or icon text that only shows on hover?) for them would=
=20
make these more like our widget handles (though not exact, and that's ok) a=
nd=20
allow them to fit nice and compact.

* remove activity is missing there still. that could, fairly easily, be jus=
t=20
an icon though as we do for widgets.

it's looking good though and this particular patch is a very nice improveme=
nt=20
already.
