Hello Helena and Carlos,
Thank you for valuable comments on GUI.

Little bit of cosmetics to wxGUI would indeed help, especially for new

In the Map Display, the "overlay" icon doesn't really mean much, I
think that a different image would help, or even three buttons, one
for legend, one for north arrow and on for text.
YES!!! Everybody here complains that they cannot find the legend button.
Even if you read the wxGUI help - it is hard to remember.

Any objections to renaming the mini-menu to "Add decoration" from
"Add overlay"? "Overlay" might be confused with raster overlays,
and is otherwise not very clear in its meaning.

Can anyone think of another term than overlay (I understand the possible confusion) and decoration (is a scale really a "decoration"?). Is decoration the correct cartographic term? Is there another?

Add (map) description?
I tried to find a better term (overlay and decorations are really bad) - here are
some terms commonly used for legend, scale, title, autor etc.:
add map description
add map elements
add map components

I am not sure which one is the best,

Of all of these, I like "map elements" best so far.
