Customizing toolbars

You can customize toolbar position and display. For example, you can move or resize a toolbar, and you can choose to hide or display a toolbar.

Toolbars can be either docked or floating. Docking a toolbar attaches it to the edge of the application window. Undocking a toolbar pulls it away from the edge of the application window, so it floats and can be easily moved around.

You can create, delete, and rename custom toolbars. You can customize toolbars by adding, removing, and arranging toolbar items. You can adjust toolbar appearance by resizing buttons; adjusting the toolbar border; and displaying images, captions, or both. You can also edit toolbar button images.

When moving, docking, and undocking toolbars, you use the grab area of the toolbar.

For a
The grab area is
 
Docked and unlocked toolbar
Identified by a dotted line at the top or left edge of the toolbar
Floating toolbar
The title bar. If the title is not displayed, the grab area is identified by a dotted line at the top or left edge of the toolbar.

If you do not want to move docked toolbars by mistake, you can lock them. Locked toolbars do not have a dotted line along their left edge.
