Description
If possible having the toolbox be in the same order of paint.net would go a long way with people switching between apps. Even if its not a separate box.

Heres a rough sample, the shape options would go at the bottom.

This is related to issues like #1117 for having more flexible UI layout. Currently it's a very fixed single column list of tools

I see, after looking at the menu with keeping things simple in mind. Work flow might be a lot easier if Rectangle Select and Move Selection had their locations swapped as a quicker fix.

For me as well, the Pinta Gui is not as easy to use as the Paint.NET one.

One of the subliminal differences as well is the use of color.

Also, similar tools like for example shapes are grouped into one tool and one can select the actual shape in the top toolbar (This helps also against the problem that one cannot see the whole toolbar if the window does not have that much space vertically)

Also, in Paint.NET, all the adjustments and effects have individual icons in the menu. If the problem is not a GTK one but with missing copyright-free icons from the Google material or Microsoft Fluent icon set or also make the ones that do not fit from there, if some developer here can then add them to the menu (if there are placeholder svgs I could also replace them in a merge request with placeholder dummy svg files). Also please say if you want colored ones or not and what the default resolution for the Afjudtmenrs/Effects Icons should be (I guess 16x16, this is important even if it is an SVG)

Re: menu icons, I don't think GTK supports that anymore since GTK3, from what I recall
