TODO: actual usage instructions

Usage:

  • create a toolbar
  • run Save Toolbar
  • give it a prototype name - names that start with underscore will go to the top of the list
  • Save Prototype button to save to the toolbar library and main toolbars storage

OR

  • Load from Prototype
  • check Open as Unique so you create a duplicate toolbar instead of editing the existing toolbar
  • navigate up/down with the buttons on the right
  • click the button on the left to open the new duplicate toolbar
  • make desired changes to the toolbar
  • Save Prototype button to save to the toolbar library

Notes:

  • The vertical slider is only an indicator, changing it does nothing
  • opening the panels uses between 2 and 6 undos
  • loading from library via selections will load all selected even if they are not visible in the list view
  • toolbars can be reinstated from before the install to protect against permanent accidental changes
  • Main toolbar in virgin tS and WorkspaceNav toolbar in UU will never close when opening via this manager
  • Some of the built in toolbars will display a default description
  • BUG: some characters cause error when searching - fix is in UU version
