 > Yes, a vpane definitely suits this UI. I also agree with Tomeu: The
 buttons should appear within the toolbar, so that the vpane cleanly splits
 the source and output sections.

 "stop" could just be a single button that changes state when toggled. The
 "play" button could also use the standard play icon, so it matches the
 appearance of the stop button being used.

 +1, all sounds much better that what we have just now.

 > Maybe clear should remain a text button, though, so its action is made
 explicit (run and stop are more self-evident).

 FWIW: I find both the "clean" button, and the examples tree-view very
 dangerous. Both of them act as an instant "wipe all your work" on a single
 click, and there is no warning alert, though undo keyboard shortcut does
 at least work after pressing the clean button. It means you need to
 frequently click "Keep", or copy your source to the clipboard buffer for
 safety. Perhaps a vpane could also be added to the examples tree-view so a
 user can at least fold it away to prevent an accidental click erasing
 their work (and make better use of non-XO screen resolutions)?
