[Gnumed-devel] Re: extra buttons on patient's toolbar

[richard terry]

Ian,
The save and print icons need to always be on the right most side of the bar 
(for right handers) and presumabley the opposite for left handers (anyone put 
their left hand up).

There are reasons for this. Visually ones eyes lock quickly onto the print and 
save button when needed because they are separated from the rest. When 
contained 'within the crowd' it takes the brain another few microseconds for 
to register what the eyes have had to search out.

I've done much thinking/onthe ground with GP's discussing and researching of 
this and I think it is important.

Is there a mechanism we can add them to the end?
