What are static menus?

It's an optional configuration for the toolbars. It's not the old one, but it's closer in look. You can enable it in Settings->Toolbar->Category->Static All.

Looks like bigger pictures.  Not good enough and still takes a row of map away and all new icons I have to sort thru to find and use.  All the extra should have been left in the drop down menu.  It is not a good change.  Adds too much clutter.  I'm a Keep It Simple-Stupid kind of guy.  The key to doing anything easy, including the hard way, is to be organized.  All this time, one or more person put into doing this, could have been better spent on working on the new titles.  They need to go back and make it a choice.  If they can make a whole title, they can fix this mess.

Once I tumbled onto the organizational principles, the new toolbar became less a annoying, but it still seems overly complicated. Also, I've never been much on hot keys, but now the five or six that I did are all changed. On the other hand, while I haven't really studied them, is seems like hot keys may be getting standardized across the different Tiller series, as the few I've been motivated to seek out seem the same in FWWC as in the ACW games. I guess it's worth the effort to be able to move from one series to another and not have to remember different sets of keys. Having damned much, let me applaud the way one can learn hot keys by rolling the mouse pointer over the toolbar buttons and find the hot keys displayed. Maybe in time I'll use them more since I don't have to seek them out in one of the Help file (See, I don't even remember which Help file they were in :)

Oh, well, I'm through griping for now....
