Customize Desktop Shortcuts Bar











The Desktop Shortcuts Bar has 3 main sections: Frames, Tools and Web Pages. Each section and its elements can be customized from this dialog. You can modify the displayed icons or the size of this toolbar. You can also change the glowing color (when mouse cursor hovers over an icon), size and order of its items.

From Frames, Tools and Web Pages buttons you can switch between these 3 Shortcuts Bar sections and customize each one of them.

You have two lists in this dialog: the Available Shortcuts on the left contains the icons that are not being currently shown on your Shortcuts Bar; the opposite, Displayed Shortcuts, is self-explanatory.

Show/Hide

This section concerns the way Categories, as well as Shortcuts are being shown on the Desktop Shortcuts Bar. For either - and independently - you can choose to show both the icons and text; only the icon, or only the text. You cannot hide both the icon and text at the same time.

If the Shortcuts Icon(s) are not shown, only their Text, the space on the Shortcuts Bar will be better managed, although not that intuitively.

In the case of Show Categories Icon - the categories icons are: , and . You can show/hide these icons. Uncheck this option, if you want only their text (Frames, Tools, Web Pages) to be displayed.
