I think the visual checkbox indicator is probably the way to go.

How about dropping the word Toggle, and changing the menu content to reflect what selecting an item will do, i.e. if library path is being shown in the status bar, the menu item would read "Hide Library Path in Status bar" etc.

yes, I think the word toggle must be dropped.

second idea I implemented recently on CCR's toggle plugin state button... Will look into this, too.

Version 2.0.1

- provides checkboxes for clear display of selected options
- improves display of paths on window title, when VLs are active

Better. Title line display survives VL and physical library changes.

Lets leave it that.

But I now know what I don't like about setting check boxes in menus - you can only change one item at a time, to change another item you have to pop the menu again.

You need to replace the image in first post.

IMO, rather than a one-at-a-time check box list the following would be a better UI.

I'll add it to the Index, no need for a PM.

I will add an updated image ASAP.

As for better UI, this could be implemented but not anytime soon.

I need to release updates for CCR and release finally the Palette Config plugin, which provides more direct access to palette fine tuning.

Ah, I missed that bit on your post, about the index.

Just checked, and it's okay.
