Toolbar

The Vessel Editor toolbar is visible below the menu bar when the application is opened. You can un-dock the toolbar and position it elsewhere or leave it floating outside the interface. You can also create custom toolbars that contain only the tools that you commonly use.

Hide or show a toolbar

To hide or show a toolbar, select it in the Toolbars menu. Selecting a hidden toolbar shows it, and selecting a shown toolbar hides it.

Move a toolbar

Toolbars can be moved to any location interface:

2. Click and drag the toolbar to a new location.

3. Release the mouse button to position the toolbar.

When you are dragging the toolbar, it will automatically dock when it is close to certain areas of the interface. To stop the toolbar from automatically docking, hold down the <Ctrl> key while dragging it.

Modify appearance

You can alter the appearance and size of toolbar buttons.

1. Select the View > Toolbars > Customize command.

The Customize dialog box is displayed.

2. Click the Options tab.

3. Select or deselect any of the options. The most important ones are:

• Show screen tips on toolbars: Displays the name of a command button when the cursor is placed over it.

• Large buttons in toolbars/menus: Displays buttons with 32×32-pixel icons instead of 16×16-pixel icons.

4. Click OK.
