NOTES

• Icons easy to discern so its not an issue
• User will explore this feature while resizing window so its ok as well
• maybe will add a tooltip while button compacted on future

PROBLEM

print / slice buttons not visible in frame and not usable. bbl machines uses much more tabs and issue gets worse

regular printer on minimum window size

bbl printer on minimum size

SOLUTION

tabs uses only icons to reduce space usage dynamically depends on available space

regular printer

bbl printer with multi device enabled

worst case scenario without issue. (minimum window width + multi device + Export sliced plate button)

adapts automatically to used layout
