→Activity Toolbar redesign
The toolbar used in the Activities has been redesigned. The previous design using small text tabs to group toolbar options together caused a number of usability difficulties. Many of these issues have been addressed in the redesign. For example, the redesign provides a solution for the "how do I stop an activity" issue, pointed out in {{Bug|452}} (the older toolbar design did not provide an always visible "Stop" button, causing confusion for our young learners). Among the Activities, Browse, Write, Calculate, Terminal, Read, ImageViewer, and Turtle Art have already been ported to use the new Toolbar design, while work on many others is under way. See [[Features/New Toolbar Design]] for more details about the new design.
