• starting in on seeing how the design works with a smaller, squarer screen
• working on A2-related items (esp. weave-integration, find-in-page, context menus)
• if you open a bug that needs some UI/UX attention, use the "uiwanted" keyword -- I'm watching for those

UI

The tools panel is largely themed, and the Preference and Shortcut panes are checked in. Please file bugs on any improvements you can think of. One big thing that's missing right now is a way to scroll them; most devices don't have a scroll wheel, which is currently the only thing that works.
