Customize Menus and Toolbars

You do not have to settle for the placement of the ImageRight Desktop menu bar and the toolbars, nor do you have to settle for the appearance of these items. You can customize the placement and other items easily. Applying customization works similarly on all tabs. In our discussion, we apply customization on the File View tab. You can adapt our steps to make changes on the other tabs as needed.

Figure 1: Change the position of the toolbars and menu bar

If the toolbars and menu bar are not locked in place (Figure 1), you can: ● Move them to a new location by dragging the move handle (the series of small dots). If you drag a toolbar or the menu bar to the edge of the screen, it will dock in place. ● Drop the menu bar or toolbar anywhere on the Windows desktop, and it will float. ● Close a floating toolbar by clicking .

You can display ImageRight toolbars any time you want by right-clicking the toolbar area and selecting the names of the toolbars in the list that you want to display (Figure 2). A check mark next to a toolbar indicates it will be displayed. To hide a toolbar, simply click it again to remove the check mark. There is another way that you can display or hide toolbars.

Now we will look at the options you can use to control the size of the icons on the toolbars and the behavior of the menu items. Start by opening the Customize dialog box (right-click the toolbar area and click Customize on the menu).

Figure 4: Define toolbar and menu options

Click the Options tab (Figure 4), if it isn’t already displayed, and select the options you want based on the descriptions that follow. ● Always show full menus – All menu choices will be displayed. If not selected, the most recently used commands will be displayed first. ● Show full menus after a short delay – The full menu will be displayed after a short delay. To display the full menu no matter how long you wait, uncheck this option. ● Reset my usage data – Clear the memory of the menu commands that you use to reset the display of recently used commands. ● Large icons on menus – All the icons on the menus will be large. ● Large icons on toolbars – All the icons on the toolbars will be large. ● Show ScreenTips on toolbars – A brief description will appear when your mouse pointer hovers over an icon. ● Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips – Existing keyboard shortcuts will be displayed along with the description. ● Menu animations – Apply one of four animation effects to menus. Effects are applied when you expand a menu. ● Floating toolbar fade delay – Type or select the amount of time that will pass before floating toolbars fade from view.

You might find there is a command that you use often that should appear on a toolbar. Using the Add or Remove Buttons functionality is the easiest way to add buttons to a toolbar.

Figure 5: Add or remove toolbar buttons

1. Click the down arrow at the far right side of any toolbar (Figure 5), and then point at Add or Remove Buttons to display a list of toolbars. 2. Point at the toolbar that you would like to change to display a list of buttons. 3. If you want to add a button that does not currently appear, click it to place a check mark next to it. If you want to remove a button, click it to clear its check mark. We have explained only a few of the ways in which you can customize menus and toolbars. For more information, see Menu and Toolbar Customization in ImageRight Help.
