Toolbar configuration for the adventurous

Post by admin »

A way to configure the toolbar has been wished several times. So here is a way. From 4.20.0039 onwards you find a new INI key (written after first exit):

Code: Select all

[General]
...
Toolbar=back,fore,up,cut,copy,paste,del,home
You can freely remove any tags (their meaning should be clear) that you don't want to see and change their order at will. No spaces after the commas, please.
Removing the key all together will restore the default.

Sooner or later I'll write a GUI for this...

Very nice! Thank you.

Do you have plans to allow other items in the toolbar? Like Refresh/Rebuild Tree, Selection Filter, the various Info to Clipboard items, etc.

Well, yes. Now we have unlimited possibilities. :D The only problems are the icons. If you want to speed it up, send me the button wish together with a nice icon: 16 x 16 pixels, 256 colors, gif with background transparent (simple, not alpha), borders real smooth in front of XP's #ECE9D8 grey.
But beware, I'm very picky...

Did you make all your icons? If so, what did you use. If not, where did you get them? I can't promise any icons, but I'd sure like to try (if I can find some spare time :? ).

I took most of them from Explorer (or general XP interfaces), the rest I made myself (for example I do not like Explorer's back/fore icons). The design target is not originality but maximal naturalness which in case of language (icons are sign language) means following the established conventions, the main stream. After stealing them, I did a lot of pixel-polishing, real slow handwork, and all of them came out better than the originals. At least that's what I say to myself :wink:

Is there any way to make the toolbar icons larger (e.g. 32px)?
