The reason behind this is to avoid filling the space with not so used icons and allow room for what they call "system icons" (inbox, 3g and battery indicators).

Also remember that all the missing actions you mention can be reached from the icon an the right, the one which cycles between different states (none, pencil, erase, pan, zoom). That's why I've removed those icons from the statusbar.

I've added a book info icon to the statusbar too. From that view we can select other views: toc, annotations and thumbnails.
My first choice was to add toc to statusbar, but as not all docs contain a valid toc it's sometimes disabled.

I've also added fullscreen and rotate actions.

Actually, you don't need the DR1000's uds if you just want the features you listed in this post:
"continuous mode": also called "page flow", can be turned on if you set the field in metadata.db correctly. yacoob has a similar app for that. This can also be done with CTB. The disadvantage is that it is not on-demand: once the file is opened, it cannot be toggled.
"full screen": same as above.
"page select bar": Just a feature of popupmenu.
The point is that it is difficult to change those parameters without using DR1000 uds.
We could implement them on the popupmenu but we would need to write lot of code and change the way statusbar is used in DR800. I don't think is worth the effort.

Statusbar needs DR1000 uds, but taskbar works ok without it (compile-time flag *).
You can open different documents or apps, the only drawback is that is not possible to close them, except rebooting. A minor problem in my little testings.
Interesting, do you know why?
Simple, we don't have a "close" button.
We could add one, but it's the same work mentioned above.

I believe you are going to post the source when you release it?
Of course.
I'm waiting for fixing some small issues and to see if we choose a common VCS and hosting infraestructure.

Anyway, I'm going on holidays this weekend and I'll be away for two weeks, so if not before, I'll publish them here (devel forum) next Friday or Saturday.
