I really like the proposal, Caty!
How about displaying the menu for Page actions twice , on the top and on
the bottom of the page? This way, the need for scrolling could be
partially fixed. It will look strange on small contents ...
As a user, I would definitely distinguish visually better the actions on
using the menu with icons. BUT, the other proposal is much more elegant
and the step from a beginner user to an advanced user (regarding the
menu usage) is small. So, the difference between those the two
proposals is the time needed to get used with the menu. My opinion is
that we either display the icons, or we don't.
Since the look and feel is very important, and using icons in submenus
is a bit too much, I would choose the version without icons by default
and maybe an option in the XWiki Preferences section to display icons or
not.

Hi devs,
Part of the XE 2.1 roadmap is the improvement of the action bar.
Proposal can be viewed at:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal
There are some icon usage variants:
- no icons (just like Colibri)
- Var1: partial icons
- http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuVar1
- Var2: full icons
- http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuVar2
Ideas:
- there could be an option to display or not the icons in the
administration
I would like if you could give:
1. some feedback about the proposals
2. a preference between the icons variants (Var1, Var2)
Thanks,
Caty
