josiahjack previously I was not aware of plyczkowski proposal but after reviewing it I think he's got the right idea. Though I do really like your idea of having a separate tool setting window. Kind of reminds me of Cinema 4D's Attributes window

Has this been solved?

The info space is not actually missing I just moved it to the bottom of the layout in the mock-up. Nevertheless, thanks for the links I'll check them out!

My appologies. I'm confused on the posting process here as this is my first time. Anyway I won't be participating anymore in the future.

I think footer bars should be removed from all windows and only have header bars to maintain consistency.
