The option is available in the GtkToolbar class object in glade like so. <property name="toolbar_style">both</property> Agree, adding an additional option of Text centered *under* Icons would be a valid format, the drawback is consumption of vertical space. But to be of more use, the font size (using 'system' font) might need to be adjustable--perhaps provide small, medium, large size (if not to specific points). Distinct from, or maybe to replace, the User Interface scaling (Tools -> Options -> View: User Interface "Scaling") that was removed for 5.3 -- bug 101646 Regards support for assistive technology--screen readers already receive the button widget's name, so that is not really a facet, although low-vision users would probably be helped with combination of Icon over scalable font text labels.

The option is to have it centered and no other way. :D > But to be of more use, the font size (using 'system' font) might need to be > adjustable--perhaps provide small, medium, large size (if not to specific > points).

Yes my mention of a11y was for users with low-vision and those who would be more comfortable clicking larger buttons with the mouse. Would also be useful for those using tablets and having to click with their fingers. |
