Is there any way to widen the height of the shelf panel so that I can get two or more rows of buttons visible.
I'm getting too many scripts to cope with but want them all on screen at once.
The other option is to make a window sized panel full of buttons and buy a second monitor!
Seriously, an extra shelf row would be a lot easier (can't stand that awful scroll button on the far right)
Sure, you could also categorize them to more tabs.

This is a bit limitted as the formLayout49 area has auto size on so you should look into disabling it too. (you could instead scale formLayout15 but thets annoyng unless you make it auto sizing too)
Personally i have 1768 shelf items. And i still dont scale the shelf.

That is also quit trivial, but howabout making a keyboard button to toggle visisibility fo this window. Personally i use this so that theres shelf buttons that launch the sub shelves underneath the button.
Shelf buttons can also be dynamic, so you could hide all nurbs tools for example when polygons are selected.
Well i have 6 different places for shelves on my layout.
Joojaa, I'd love to see a screenshot of your layout
If you find you have too many shelf buttons that you really need to see/use all the time I'd suggest looking into user marking menus. These are much more fluid and intuitive than shelves, don't take up ANY screen estate and don't require you to swap visual/mental focus from the viewport/position you're working on.
