I use FME Desktop on a Mac and so some preferences are a bit different than with windows. One feature I love is the newly added ability to split your screen and have two apps fill up the whole screen (clicking and holding on the "full screen" or green button of a window and then choosing a second app to put next to it). When you do this there are obviously a fair number of icons in the "ribbon" of FME that are hidden due to the constrained screen real estate. Two of the most important buttons are hidden when the window is this size - add Reader and add Writer.

I was wondering if perhaps this ribbon/top menu could be editable/customizable? Perhaps you could give us the ability to rearrange the order of these buttons? At a minimum perhaps the add reader/writer could be moved to the left somewhere so that when you are using FME in a smaller window you could still see them?

Thanks for the consideration....certainly not hugely impactful or pressing but more of a "nice to have" feature.
