RiverWare 6.1: Unit Schemes / 7-28-2011
Some options for the new Workspace "Units" menu / See also question about "commas" setting.

Note: The menus in these screenshots include two arbitrary user-defined unit scheme names, just as an example. Also, the names of the built-in unit schemes are tentative -- and the only required built-in unit scheme in this design is the "Initialization Units" unit scheme. We might not actually include the other demonstrated built-in schemes. (See the "key" illustration, below). (Also, see technical implementation).

Options 1 and 2

Options 3, 4, 5.

See the options above in the context of the full Workspace menubar, below.

Question about moving "Show Commas in Numbers" menu item:

We originally were a bit reluctant about placing the "Show Commas in Numbers" checkable menu item in the "Workspace" menu, as it wasn't exactly the right fit. Might the new "Units" menu be a better place for this menu item? Or might there be a better "framing" of the new menu which would accommodate Units and the "Show Commas" menu item? "Numeric Configuration" (or something) is the right idea, but that's probably too long a title for a Workspace menu, considering how complicated this Workspace menubar already is.
