I wonder about buttons down the left margin of the stack pane? With modern wide aspect displays and even two inspector panes at the bottom, I find I have a huge amount of white space to the right of the stack pane, so there would be little impact on this stack info. Perhaps a default wide margin to fit labels for newbies (though Through could be Thru, and Proceed could be Run), but also be able to shrink in width so that only the button icons are visible.
