Perhaps, we can use a secondary toolbar to the less used options if necessary (quality, or new features like effects...)<br><font color="#888888">

</div>Just wanted to post this Record mockup variation:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Record_toolbar_mockup_%28gary%29.jpg" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Record_toolbar_mockup_(gary).jpg</a><br>

Key point is that it avoids using primary toolbar icons with secondary toolbars for the three different canvas state modes. Instead it presents photo/video/audio as three radio buttons, you'd mentioned you were going to look at radio buttons elsewhere, photo is the one currently active. The quality/timer/duration options are provided in the primary toolbar, but would disable/ghost if the current mode does not support that setting. Record and fullscreen widgets are back in the canvas as per original design, as is the choice of a black canvas colour. I'm missing the info/detail view widgets in this mockup (could use the original 'i' placement on the canvas, or badge the thumbs).<br>
<br>
Main cons. with this design are the use of text widgets in the toolbar, longer text translations could cause the toolbar to overflow. There's also less space options for adding new features – your mockup showed things like Effects: Sepia in a secondary toolbar – though these are likely more post process effects you might or might not want to enable/disable after making a recording (so could be buttons in the edit or possibly view sub-toolbars).<br>
<br>
Just food for thought – I'm trying to avoid the design issue re:'tools with secondary toolbars that also trigger a canvas mode state change' issue. If you think this might be the right path for Record, I can try a similar mockup treatment for Memorise, so it has play/create radio tool button canvas states.<br>
