The Toolbars tab

Toolbars - this list allows you to show or hide the available toolbars. Clear the checkmark to the left of the bar name to hide the bar, or check the box to display it. Note that clearing the mark doesn't delete the bar, or any changes you've made to it, it simply instructs the program to not display it. For example, you might want to maximize your available screen real estate by hiding the bar temporarily, or you may not like toolbars at all.

To customize the toolbar select View, then Customize. The Customize user interface editor will appear. Choose a Category, which will then change the list of available buttons on the right. Left-click and then drag the button you wish to add up to the toolbar and drop it where you want it to go. You can also remove an existing button by dragging it "away" from HyperSnap-DX 5's window and letting up on the mouse button.

The Reset button will re-enable the selected bar to its default configuration and re-enable it. You'll lose any changes to it you've made if you click Reset, so be carefulùthis cannot be un-done once executed.

Reset All will reset multiple groups of bars should multi-bar support be added to the program later.

Clicking the Close button will close the entire set of Customize tabs, establishing all of your changes on each as the settings the program will use.

Customizing toolbars...

If you right-click any toolbar button while the Customize tabs are open, you'll see a menu there that contains various functions. Some of these are not functional in the current release (such as changing a buttons appearance) but they will, with little doubt, appear in a future version. We've documented the non-functional features because they may be "slip-streamed" into a point release, and that way the documentation is actually ahead of the program (rather than is common, the other way around). If a feature here doesn't work (like the Button appearance editor) that's not a bug you need to report, it's a feature that's been "turned off" until we've got time to enable it in an upcoming version.

Reset to default - sets the button back to its originally-shipped values and options.

Copy button image - copies the button image to the clipboard for use across the system.

Delete - removes a button from the toolbar. If you do this by mistake, you can recover it by going to the Commands tab and dragging that function up to the bar and dropping it. See the Commands tab for more help about adding buttons to menus or toolbars.

Button appearance - loads the Button Appearance editor. You can from there select how this button appears. Define items such as whether or not it shows Image only, Text only, or Image and text together. There's a checkbox marked Use Default image which sets the button to use the standard image for that function.

Image - use a picture only for the button.

Text - use only descriptive text for the button.

Image and text - use both image and descriptive text for the button's appearance.

Start group - adds a divider to the toolbar before the currently-selected button. This allows you to arrange buttons in visual "sections" that may contain specific types of functions between the lines that divide groups.
