What and why

Closes #7234.

Adds Window > Toolbars > Compact Tools for the main Tools panel. It reduces the vertical and horizontal gaps between tools and uses a narrower panel in both one- and two-column layouts. Tool icons and footer controls keep their existing size.

The option defaults off and is saved with preferences and named workspaces. It works with Basic, Advanced and edited main-toolbar layouts, docked or floating. Existing workspaces open with regular spacing; named custom toolbars and torn-off groups retain their own layout.

How it was tested

Seven focused integration tests passed on Windows, drawing the actual Tools widget: both-axis spacing and panel width, exact regular-layout defaults, toggle/preferences/columns/tool selection, real tool and flyout clicks, footer fit and short-window scrolling, Advanced/edited layouts, unaffected named/torn-off toolbars, and workspace round-trip/legacy defaults. Strict UI all-target Clippy and workspace formatting passed. The UI-command catalog generator check also passed. Four actual WGPU renders of regular/compact layouts in one/two columns were inspected with real SVG icons; icons and footer controls remain visible without clipping or overlap.

Checklist

• cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm).
• No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or messages. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user (why and how).
• Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md).
• Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md (no new assets).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an optional Compact Tools layout that reduces button spacing and the width of the main Tools panel in docked or floating layouts.
  • Compact Tools works with one or two columns and is independent of the column setting. The choice is saved with workspaces.
  • The existing layout remains the default. Tool icons, footer controls, flyouts, and named custom toolbars retain their current sizing and spacing.
• Documentation
  • Updated documentation to describe Compact Tools and its availability.

Walkthrough

Adds an optional compact layout for the main Tools panel. Users can enable it from Window › Toolbars. The setting defaults off and is saved with workspace state.

The command toggles the setting when on is omitted or null, and sets it when on is a boolean.

Tests cover rendered geometry, tool interactions, layout variants, workspace persistence, and unchanged sizing for named and floating toolbars. Documentation records the option and its behavior.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 93cef

This adds an optional compact spacing setting for the main Tools panel. It is off by default and saved with preferences and workspaces. Existing layouts are unchanged, and no merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Tools: add an optional compact layout" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR adds a Window > Toolbars > Compact Tools option that reduces spacing and panel width for the main Tools panel. The title is short and specific, and it does not describe anything missing from the changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a 'What and why' section that states the change and links issue #7234. It has a 'How it was tested' section that lists the seven integration tests, Clippy and format checks, and WGPU render inspections. The checklist is present. The 'cargo xtask ci' item stays unchecked, and the PR objectives say the full CI run is still pending approval, which the author should state explicitly. The other checklist items are marked done with a short note on each.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Only #7234 is a directly linked active issue. Its requirement is an optional compact layout for the left toolbar that reduces vertical gaps between tool buttons and horizontal gaps between columns, while keeping the usual tools visible. The whole-PR diff of crates/ui-egui/src/toolbar.rs (merge base to head) shows the implementation. main_metrics returns compact cells of 30x25 pt and regular cells of 36x(PITCH-1) pt, so the vertical pitch shrinks in compact mode. Compact wells are 26x23 pt versus 30x27.5 pt. Panel width is 44 pt (single column) and 76 pt (double column) in compact mode, versus 48 pt and 80 pt in regular mode, so the column pitch and panel width shrink. body now places tools with metrics.cell and metrics.well, and the tool set is unchanged. The setting is wired through the UiState.toolbar_compact field, the window.toolbarCompact command, and workspace persistence, as the whole-PR summary describes. The tests in crates/ui-egui/tests/toolbar_compact.rs were not read, and the reported test results were not independently verified. The change since the previous review (head 9db29fb to 93cef8e) was not isolated, so the whole-PR basis is used.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Every changed file serves the compact Tools option. The toolbar.rs diff contains only compact metrics, panel width, and the cell and well sizing used in body. The menu, command catalog (ui_catalog.rs, ui_commands.rs), state, and workspace changes implement the toggle and its persistence. The test file supports the feature. The documentation files (docs/gaps.md, docs/roadmap.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md) record the new option and its unchanged defaults. Their updates are minor and connected to the feature. No change lacks a connection to #7234. Only the toolbar.rs hunks were read directly. The other files rely on the whole-PR summary.
