I just thought of another option, rather than making toolbars, maybe you could just make the icons smaller and line them up in the lower right or left hand corner. I think people would like that option rather than having the icons take so much viewport space area.

Hi arquebus - if you'd like smaller buttons you can go to Options / General, and adjust the UI size slider to the left a little bit, that will shrink all the buttons in the UI including the viewport toolbar.

By default they are fairly large since that makes them much easier to click on.

It is also possible to edit the UI to make just those view control buttons smaller and not everything else.

I've attached an edited version of those viewport controls - to install it on your version download and unzip the attached ViewControls.zip file, and copy the ViewControls.htm file over top of the old version in the C:\Program Files\MoI beta Nov-18-2007\ui folder.

That will give you much smaller buttons on that viewport toolbar.

It is also possible to remove buttons by editing that file as well, just delete any of the <moi:CommandButton> entries that you don't want to have.

Thanks! Those smaller icons are a lot better.
