We should consider to provide icons instead of buttons with text 'Source' and 'Design'. Entire editor toolbar is icon based and only text buttons are those two, and it doesn't look very consistent with other IDE toolbars. IMO we should come up well designed clear icons with tooltips 'Source' and 'Design'.
The toolbar is composed by multiview => reassigning for evaluation.
reassigning
actually the current implementation is according to the UI spec, so reassigning to dusan.
I suggested to have those two texts instead icons, because that Editor switching is really important functionality of the toolbar. User could easily overlook these actions when only icons would be there. But we thought about having icons+texts there instead only texts as a enhancement in the future.
