Clarification for Main Toolbox window

Working my way through the documentation making changes...

see: http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-concepts-usage.html

The description for the Main toolbox window is as follows:

-------------

The Main Toolbox: This is the heart of GIMP. It contains the highest level menu, plus a set of icon buttons that can be used to select tools, and more.

----------------

The image window contains a menu, the Main Toolbox window does not. I just want to make certain that I am not missing something here and that I can change this to read:

-------------

That sounds fine. I think the only tricky part is '... and more'. IMHO you either say, that you can select tools and explain the 'more part' afterwards in detail. Or you explain exactly what you/we currently mean with 'more.

Cheers,

Good point on the "what do we mean with "more". I did not give it a second thought (because I was so preoccupied with the fact that the menu no longer exists). I will make this change during the week.

The only "more" that I see is that it allows me to choose the foreground and background color; I assume that in the documentation I should use "colour", yes?

Hi Andrew,

You are right.
Don't be surprised by that kind of "errors". GIMP-2.6 Help is an update of v2.4. Updating is more difficult than writing from draft: we are accustomed to the text and we can easily miss small (even important!) changes in it :-(.
Your new vision of the text is a very good thing.

That sounds fine.

It does contradict the idea of the images being the most important part of a user's GIMP session, though.
