A complete UI overhaul of Rhino would be a much welcomed move

A short right-click on the icon, runs the secondary command you have set on that icon. A long right click on that same icon, will open the linked toolbar. It’s a UI feature based on timing. It’s pretty straight forward for me.

Same is true for a long left click.
Means a long click opens the linked toolbar.

Or correct: A long mousedown opens the linked toolbar.
After that, you only have to release the mouse over the wanted button.

Personally, I don’t see the need for change here.

Right, there is no need.

A new UI feature based on timing could be no click at all to open the linked toolbar.
Just waiting a certain time over the button, let’s assume the double tooltip delay.

And of course the automatically opened toolbar must vanish automatically if you move the mouse to a different place.
And after selecting a button from the opened toolbar.
Simple as that.

See the video from Xara here:

Less clicks wanted; proposal

Rhino has a fine toolbar system. A button with a triangle leads to more commands. We have to click and hold a triangle button to come to the underlying toolbar. Or click the tiny rectangle. It could be more comfy and accessible. Sometimes I (have to) use Xara, which also has the triangle system. I only need to hover the mouse over such a button, and the toolbar pops out automatically. A very good system I would like to see in Rhino as well… The auto-pop doesn’t harm, the top button is st…

The same system could work with the toolbar tabs.
It did once long ago, but didn’t work right.
It was replaced by mousewheel action.
Pascal will remember.
