I guess this can be generalized into two components:

 - label - can have a background image, icon, text
    - can be active (= have an associated list of commands) or not
 - split - can contain one(?) two or more items (splits, labels)
sorted vertically or horizontally
    - should give focus to the first child that contains an active item
    - should allow flexible sizing and styling of the cells (borders,
margins, padding, minimum size, upscaling, ...)
    - should allow a variant that scrolls in the direction in which
the cells are sorted (with paging or slower scrolling, possibility to
loop from end to start)

Thanks
