I was involved with the Wysihat project too. What we found is that its approach, like most other editors', is fundamentally broken. We created Trix to solve the problem. https://github.com/basecamp/trix#different-by-design

I think you'll find Trix's toolbar easy to style however you'd like, but if not, it ought to be straightforward to implement your own using the API.

Cool, and great work! I had a small e-mail conversation with Josh (forgot his last name) a couple of years back, I thought he worked on Wysihat alone. I have seen and tested some RTEs for the web, and I can only imagine how hard it is to come up with a durable solution. So thanks for Trix and good luck! P.S. Trix also has a 'royal' connotation to me, because it's short for Beatrix in The Netherlands. Beatrix being the former queen.
