Either is fine for me.

You did? I couldn't tell :).

Yes, "rhoi heibio" is more of "put away" rather than "throw away".

I used ymylon for "edge", as in "Panel Ymylon" - "Edge Panel".

If it's numeric in nature, "sero", definitely. If it's something like
"There are zero froobyuts left on your system", then "dim" would be
appropriate (just as you could relace "zero" with "no" in the original
English).

Yes. I suspect this might apply to other terms, too.

I think "pixmap" has been translated as "map picseli" previously. I like
"picsfap" better.

How about "Cyfrinachol"?

Yes, "gwrthdaro" is two objects striking each other, whereas something
can crash all by itself. "Cwympo"? Wow, good guess, that's actually in a
dictionary.
