Toolbars

Toolbars are areas in an application window that contain frequently used commands. These commands are normally found in the main menu. However, going to the main menu to save or add a record can be time consuming, so the frequently used icon buttons are available on a toolbar.

You can identify what the icon does by it's tooltip. Move your mouse over one of the items, pause for a short time then see a text description pop up over the icon to explain what this icon does.

Note: By default all toolbars and toolbar icons are not displayed. To display the toolbars and toolbar icons you wish to use by customizing the toolbars and toolbar icons according to your preferences through "Customize Toolbar" option.

Displaying Captions Or A Different Icon Size

Some of the toolbars can display large icons, text or both. The Main Toolbar and the Section Toolbar in TexNotes Pro can be configured accordingly.

To show Large/Small Icons, Captions or Both
Note: Not all toolbars have the option to change the toolbar's display.
Right Click on the desired Toolbar you want to change, then choose from the popup menu which style option to display:
Small Icons: Shows the display icons as 16x16 icons.
Large Icons: Shows the display icons as 24x24 icons.
Show Captions Under Icon: Shows the descriptive caption text directly under the icon button.
Do Not Show Captions: Completely hides the caption so only the icon remains.

Moving toolbars

The toolbars work in a similar fashion to most software application in Windows. Most of the toolbars, like the main toolbar or the section toolbar can be moved and repositioned to a different place on your screen. This has the advantage of rearranging your workspace to better organize and save screen space.

To Move A Toolbar To A Different Position
Note: Not all toolbars have the option to move.
You can identify if a toolbar can move by looking to see if the toolbar has a vertical or horizontal "drag" line. Some styles this shows as a series of dots, some display it as a line.

If you don't wish the toolbar to "dock", ie: click into place next to other toolbars, you have the option to move the toolbar around the screen and have it as a "Floating" toolbar.

Tip: To switch off automatic docking while moving the toolbar, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while moving the toolbar with your mouse.
