what the hell? we seemed to have jumped back from maya 4 to 3! this is what the shelves are like in version previous to 4, and for most ppl, it takes up more space than they wud like user added image

I hope not.... welll most of the items in my shelfs i put them also in marking menus so to be honest they all can be deleted, but just want to know.

I find the marking menus's a littbit easier then the shelfs
