Customizing Designer Pro 647

Changing the size of buttons
Buttons can be large or small as selected in the CONTROL BARS dialog box.

Moving buttons and tools
To move buttons or tools:

1. Move the mouse pointer over the button you want to move.
2. Hold down "Alt" (left ALT) to move the button or "AltGr" (right ALT) to copy the
button when used on user-defined control bars and other control bars. Although on
the predefined "Button palette" both ALT-keys do only copy the button.
3. Drag the button to:

- A different place on the same control bar.
- Or another control bar.
- Or onto the editing area/off Designer Pro to create a new control bar.

You cannot move buttons onto or off the InfoBar.

Hiding buttons and tools
Move the unwanted buttons or tools to another control bar and then hide that control bar
(described above).

If you need the button or tool in the future, use the CONTROL BARS dialog box to redisplay
the control bar.

You cannot delete buttons or tools.

Fly-out menus
Some buttons have a small black triangle which indicates that there is a fly-out bar, which
appears when the mouse pointer is held over the button for a short period. You cannot
customize the contents of these flyout bars, but you can drag the button as a whole onto
and off bars, just as you do with ordinary buttons.

Gallery docking and undocking

It is possible to dock one or more galleries on either side of the Designer Pro window.
See moving and docking a gallery (on page 62).

Restoring the default control bars/galleries

Choose "WINDOW" > "CONTROL BARS" and click RESET to restore the control bar setup to
the default setting.
