Re-structure the screen option dialogs for waypoint, track, route and areas

[kiozen]

Especially the screen options for tracks get more and more determining the width of the bubble dialog. I experimented a bit making them a bit more compact.

Let me show you:

The 4 tool buttons of the top row are common to all GIS items. Below that the item specific tool buttons are grouped. The content is placed right of the tool buttons.

This does not necessarily lead to a bubble dialog with less width. However this only happens to those items with a rather small bubble anyways.

The question is: Better or just different?

My personal taste/preference: the existing one - for me: easier to read if in 1 row.

I agree with @wthaem.
I personally find the existing version clearer.

If it is the amount of option icons which determines the width of bubble dialog,
then perhaps splitting the options row into 2 rows of options would reduce width of dialog window but nevertheless keep readability.

Btw this is the branch in my repo if someone wants to play with:

I briefly tested your branch. I couldn't find any errors. My opinion:

Advantages:
A) It looks tidier.
B) The ratio of window length to width matches the screen ratio better, which I like.

Disadvantage:
Experienced users will have to get used to it, as they tend to click on the icons instinctively, as @wthaem already stated.

For me, you can change it.

I also find a 1 row list more organized, similar to how it is in Garmin BaseCamp, where you can configure the order yourself

I also think one row is better. The main reason is that a wrong click can happen only in one dimension (two possible missclicks, left/right), while in the suggested change wrong clicks can happen in two dimensions (up to 4 possible missclicks).

I prefer the oneliner too, in the compact view I would like to be able to re-arrange them, having my favorites in the top row.
