    == Guidelines ==
     
    === Toolbox appearance/behavior ===
    * Provide only one toolbox for your application.
    * Use a [[../SOU_Workspace/Toolbar/Docker|docker]] for the toolbox.
    * Use the header "Tools".
    * Make a toolbox two items wide by default.
     
    === 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 [[../SOU_Workspace/Toolbar|toolbar]] for those.
