=== Activity Toolbar redesign ===
The activity toolbar has been redesigned. The previous design using small text tabs to group toolbar options together caused a number of reported difficulties. More details about the [[Features/New Toolbar Design]]. The redesign provides a solution for the " how do I stop an activity" issue, pointed out in {{Bug|452}}. Browse, Write, Calculate, Terminal, Read, ImageViewer, and Turtle Art have already been ported to use the new Toolbar design, and many other are underway.

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 and 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 a 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 other is under way.
