The icon-only buttons interface makes it difficult to establish a streamlined flow #403

Since the nature of the program means I rarely need to interact with the GUI, I never truly get the chance to learn it, let alone develop muscle memory for it. I consistently struggle to recall the function of each button when I open LBM every other month I rearrange my monitors. One workaround (that slows down the flow anyways) is hovering over the icons to reveal labels, but then you start to see additional problems:

  • a button labeled "about" and followed by another labeled "info", when in many contexts these terms mean the same.

  • the "switch to list view" option works as a toggle, even though it visually resembles a standard button.

I know the easy reply might be, "How often do you need to interact with the interface for this to be a problem?" But that infrequency is precisely what's causing the issue; there’s hardly any retention of the proper flow between sessions. It's just a quality of life suggestion, please don't take it badly.
