I'm still not sure what the focus of the summer of usability was about, and 
I have not seen any results presented anywhere so far.  If someone has a 
document would be cool if he can put it up on the wiki :)

Thats something we should do in the toolbox too.

Yes, I think thats a big downside as this makes it not fit in the 
koffice-wide design.

Well, that would be a nice feature for 2.1; add a context menu to set the 
button size :)

All in all, its probably a matter of taste. I don't know of actual problems 
with the current toolbox, it can certainly could use more love but the 
(user interface) design seems to be Ok, and consistent.
Do you think the current toolBox is good enough for the 2.0 release?
