In my humble opinon, the space would be used better by an expanded 
tool box. Packing tools in three columns is just awful from a usability 
point of view. Better put them in a Single, linear list. 

Also, there will certainly be more fancy tools to come in the future: 
E.g. shove, multi-track to draw busses in one sweep, blind via, multi 
copy (produce a grid of objects with one action), copy-rotate, ...
Plus, there is the potentially space hungry layer list.

With tis in mind, the drop-down list for route styles looks like a 
good idea. The drop-down list can easily adjust for user configured 
additional styles, too. Bonus points to allow the list be ripped off 
and placed on the other monitor.
