A toolbox provides tools to toggle the major mode of operation for an application. These tools are used to create or manipulate elements within the current document.

Guidelines

Toolbox appearance/behavior

Provide only one toolbox for your application.
Use a docker for the toolbox.
Use the header "Tools".
Make a toolbox two items wide by default.
(sequence)
(grouping)

Tool appearance/behavior

Use only icons in the toolbox, assign a tooltip to each tool.
Make the tools modal.
Provide a simple selection tool and make it the default when the application is started.
Don't use tools in a toolbox that open other windows. Use the toolbar for those.
