I like the big icons in the tool bar except that being bigger means less icons can fit in. My solution...

I really hope 2023 brings a second toolbar that would double the available space for the icons. Also I brought this up in the past but the floating panels are a problem since they cover the photo. If we had the space for two toolbars it would fix panels blocking the image and give adequate space for icons.

One of the biggest problems with Capture One is that I really spend a lot of time switching between panels when there should be a bit more tools open.
