I don't know, but my personal feeling is that toggle buttons are a PITA,
and they don't look that natural in this application. Pretty much for
the same reason as we didn't like them in the layer selector - which
you've just done a great job of re-writing ;).

Perhaps I'm just used to the old way, so am resistant to change.

Throwing out a crazy idea.. in word-processors etc.., "styles" are found
in a drop-down combo-box. I know that doesn't fit so well with where we
have space for the route-style selector, but just a crazy though.

Best wishes,
