yeah it was a rough frist version, visuay wise 3 is beter than 2 but we should 
decide wich 3 depending on each case and one of those 3 can be a logo icon or 
somthing else.... the problem is that to look like a tool bar, somthing a 
user will recognize. its needs a minimum number of items, so yeah we can work 
on those alot.
