Customizing TextMaker > Customizing toolbars

Only for "classic menus with toolbars": This section is relevant only for users who have configured the program to use the classic menus interface. For information on customizing the ribbon, see Customizing the ribbon.

You can create new toolbars at any time and delete or rename existing toolbars, etc. To do so, use the buttons in the dialog box of the menu command View > Toolbars.

Creating new toolbars

The program lets you create your own toolbars at any time.

If, for example, you frequently need to use commands of the Window menu that are not present in the Standard toolbar, it might be worth your while to create your own toolbar for them.

You create a new toolbar as follows:

1.	Click on the New button (in the dialog box of the menu command View > Toolbars).

2.	The program displays a dialog box in which you enter a name for the new toolbar – for example, "My toolbar". Then confirm with OK.

3.	The new toolbar has been created. Close the dialog box or click on the Customize button to add icons to the toolbar. For more information, see Customizing toolbar icons.

Customizing toolbar icons

You can edit the icons on toolbars with the Customize button. For more information, see the next section.

Deleting toolbars

The Delete button allows you to delete a user-defined toolbar as follows:

1.	Select the toolbar to be deleted from the list.

2.	Click on the Delete button.

Note: You can only delete user-defined toolbars. The default toolbars (Standard toolbar, Formatting toolbar, etc.) cannot be removed.

However, you can disable a default toolbar at any time if you don't need it by removing the check mark in front of it. For more information, see Showing and hiding toolbars.

Renaming toolbars

The Rename button can be used to rename a user-defined toolbar as follows:

1.	Select the desired toolbar from the list.

2.	Click on the Rename button.

3.	Type in the new name and confirm it with OK.

Note: You can only rename user-defined toolbars. The default toolbars (Standard toolbar, Formatting toolbar, etc.) cannot be renamed.

Resetting toolbars

You can undo any changes you have made to one of the default toolbars by clicking on the Reset button:

1.	Select the desired toolbar from the list.

2.	Click on the Reset button.

The toolbar now contains the default icons again. In addition, the default settings for the options Visible in mode and Position are restored.

Note: This command only applies to the default toolbars (Standard toolbar, Formatting toolbar, etc.) but not to user-defined toolbars.

Resetting all toolbars

To reset all toolbars at once, click on the Reset all button.

Note: This command only resets the default toolbars. User-defined toolbars remain unchanged.
