Inconsistent Features

First, the ability to manipulate the appearance of text labels. The "Tip Labels", "Node Labels", and "Branch Labels" side menus all have an option to set up the font size, color, and face. The "Scale Bar" side menu only allows you to change the font size. This can be changed in the Preferences, but it would be nice to have those options in the "Scale Bar" side menu, too.

Second, the ability to orient the root is available for the polar tree layout. However, there is no way to change the direction of the root in for the rectangular tree layout. I don't think you need to allow the root of rectangular trees to rotate through all 360°. But it would be nice if I could at least choose whether I want the root to point to the left or to the right. Currently if I want a tree with the root pointing to the right, I have to export the tree and then reorient the tree in an image editor. It would also be nice to be able to rotate the radial tree layout.
