Hi Marc,<br><br>Regarding the log out button, I removed it because there is already one in the sidebar and I didn't see what advantage there was to also having it on this page.<br><br>I have two updated screenshots:<br>

I also added two icons for Background color and Font size (I just found them on Google Images but they will probably have to be remade if we decide to use them). I think it looks odd, though, that Name does not have an icon and I can't think of an appropriate one.<br>
<br>I placed Change password in the settings because that is where it is typically found in applications.<br><br>Whichever tab is most often used would make the most sense to have as the default page. I am guessing this is the Databases tab but I may be wrong.<br>

It's a good cleanup.<br>
<br>
It's true that triangles were misleading, but no more little icons next<br>
to some of the choices?<br>
<br>
Also, in the actual "Actions" section, there are also<br>
- server dialog, in case multiple servers are defined<br>
- Log out link<br>
Where would you put these?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure about putting "Change password" in Settings.<br>
<br>
Also, someone on a discussion list was saying that this whole Home panel<br>
should not appear by default as it's not commonly used. However I wonder<br>
what should be there instead (this is configured in<br>
$cfg['DefaultTabServer']).<br>
