This page lets you configure the main toolbar. For more information on the main toolbar bar see the Toolbars section.
The main toolbar configuration is divided into three parts. To move from one to another click on the buttons at the top of the dialog, shown below.
Toolbar sections
In this section you can add or remove tools from the buttons on the toolbar. You can also configure an individual drop down menu for each button if you choose. The image below shows a section of the Add/Remove part of the dialog.
Add/Remove
Step 1: First locate the tool you wish to add to the toolbar in the tree view containing available tools on the left.
Step 2: Next click on the button you want to add the tool to on the toolbar preview in the middle of the dialog. Then click on Add to button beneath the tools tree view on the left. The selected tool should now appear in the list.
If the button was empty before you added the tool the preview should now reflect the change.
You may also have more than one tool assigned to each button. The first tool in the list will appear on the toolbar and will be accessible by a normal left mouse click. All other tools will be on a drop down list unless they are configured as right mouse button tool. To make a tool available with the right mouse button, click on the mouse icon button underneath the selected button list.
How to modify a button
You may move tools up and down the drop down list clicking on the up and down arrows.
Note: A right mouse button tool cannot be the first entry and will automatically revert to a normal button tool if moved to the top.
How to remove a tool
Select it in the Selected button list and click on the delete button.
