Commands tab

The Commands tab page lists commands grouped by category. Click a category to see a list of the associated commands, then drag-and-drop the required command into a toolbar.

Options tab

The Options tab page contains other customisation settings.

Note: The Personalized Menus and Toolbars options are not fully implemented so you cannot customise menus as indicated.

Large icons:

Select this option to display larger toolbar icons.

Show ToolTips on toolbars:

Select this option to display ToolTips when you hold your mouse cursor on a toolbar button. ToolTips contain the button name and shortcut key (optional).

Save your layout

When you finish customising your layout, you must use File | Save Layout As to save your settings. Your most recently saved layout becomes the default layout, and you will see it whenever you access this window. If you do not Save Layout As, then your changes will be lost when you exit or apply another layout.
