Tweaks, Toolbar right clicks
« on: October 20, 2009, 08:45:18 AM »
OK,  minor tweaks to improve user friendliness, easy to implement (I assume)

Several toolbar items have settings that are accessible via "options."
That access could be streamlined by also utilizing a direct "right click" function on each respective toolbar icon.

The obvious examples:
Colors/Shading via Toggle Track Shading
Blending/Shaded Relief via Toggle Relief Shading
Internet settings via Toggle Map Downloading
3D settings via 2d/3d Toggle 

It would also seem that  "3D settings" and "Blending/Shaded Relief" would appropriately be tabs under "Options/Preferences" to maintain some consistency in accessing the various settings, and make other "preferences" accessible with a single click rather than the present two steps required when using the toolbar. (OK, call me lazy) 

The draw tool could also have the area measurement tool accessed via right click.
That tool would also benefit from a tool tip ("Draw track/Measure") or icon (Pencil/ruler) or additional key shortcut ("M") suggesting its measurement capability.
