Hi List!

I'm currently thinking about some missing menu items:

a.) Text Zoom
View -> Text Zoom -> 100% (also toolbar item with icon "ZOOM_100")
View -> Text Zoom -> Smaller (also toolbar item with icon "ZOOM_OUT")
View -> Text Zoom -> Larger (also toolbar item with icon "ZOOM_IN")

The Zoom level will be used as a difference to the preferenced font size.

Every click to in/out will raise/lower this difference by 1 and redraw the widgets.
The difference to the preferences is saved in the recent file.
A click at "Zoom 100%" will set the difference value back to 0 and also redraw the widgets.

b.) additional navigation
Edit -> Go To First Packet (also toolbar item with icon "GOTO_TOP")
Edit -> Go To Last Packet (also toolbar item with icon "GOTO_BOTTOM")

placed above the current Edit -> Go To Packet

The functionality should be quite obvious.

c.) correcting icons for "find packet"
The icons for find next/previous packet should be changed from "GO_BACK"/"GO_FORWARD" (left/right) to "GO_DOWN"/"GO_UP",
to better fit the "Go To First/Last Packet" icons.

In general up/down icons make more sense than left/right.

Any comments?
