Toolbox Window (Screen Elements)

The toolbox window contains up to 200 buttons which can have application commands assigned to them. This enables frequently used commands to be accessed easily. Clicking briefly on one of the buttons with the left mouse button chooses the command associated with that button.

Clicking and holding down (for ½ second or more) the left mouse button on a tool window button calls a sub menu. This submenu contains all the commands from the same submenu as the one the button's command is located in. Another command can be chosen from this submenu; this command will be allocated to the button and immediately carried out. This only works, naturally enough, for commands which appear in a submenu. If the command appears in a menu, holding down the mouse button has no effect and the command is carried out immediately.

Context Menu

The panel window has a context menu from which certain settings relating to it can be changed. Right-click inside the window to open it. The following commands are available (partly depending on the clicked position):

Edit Button Assignment

This command can be used to edit the tool button's assignment by choosing the desired command in the appearing menu (depending on the choice, either the menu, a layer list, a pen list, or the "Edit Custom Menu" dialog).

Insert

This command can be used to insert a new button before the clicked one by choosing the desired command in the appearing menu (depending on the choice, either the menu, a layer list, a pen list, or the "Edit Custom Menu" dialog). All following buttons will be moved one step down or to the right, respectively.

Move to Begin

This command can be used to move the clicked button to the beginning of the respective row.

Move One Left

This command can be used to move the clicked button one step to the left.

Move One Downward

This command can be used to move the clicked button one step downward.

Move to End

This command can be used to move the clicked button to the end of the respective row.

Delete

Reset All

This command can be used to reset all buttons to their respective default assignment.

Pack Tightly

This command can be used to pack all buttons tightly, i.e. to move them up beginning with the first line, closing any gaps.

Number of Lines

This submenu can be used to determine the number of displayed button lines.

Swap Lines

Swap the contents of all currently active lines by mirroring them either horizontally or vertically, depending on the current window position.

Small Icons

If this menu entry is checked, small icons will be displayed in the buttons. Otherwise, standard icons will be displayed.

Opacity

This submenu can be used to determine the opacity of the element names' insert, i.e. how much the drawing area shall be concealed.

Visible

Use this command to hide the window. To show it again, use Window > Toolbox on/off.

Placeable

If this menu entry is checked, then the window can be placed anywhere on the screen. Otherwise, it will be aligned to an edge of the screen.

Window Position

This submenu can be used to determine the desired position of the toolbox window.

Rearrange

Pushes the window into one of the four corners of the workspace. The toolbox window is normally in the upper left corner of the drawing window.

Save Position

If this menu entry is checked, then the window position will be saved when leaving the application. The next time that the application is started, it appears in the same place on the screen. The position is saved relative to the whole screen.
