3.22 Customising Your Icon Bar

Just like Tools Manager you can arrange your icon bar in a range of different formats to suit your preference.

Vertical BarFrameless BarText-Only Bar
Move the rows selector to it's maximum position and then press SAVE or USE and your icon bar will look like thisIf you select "borderless" and de-select "dragbar" then press SAVE or USE, your icon bar will be without a frame and look similar to thisYou can select between Icons/Icons&Text/Text and your icon bar will respond accordinally. If you select text-only your icon bar will be icon-less and you can change the font as shown


Adding a New Bar

Instead of adding extra icons to their existing icon bar, some people may want to create a completely new bar. A programmer, for example, could have their programming tools launching from a separate six-icon icon bar.

Another use for two icon bars would be to have a horizonal and vertical bars along the bottom and the right hand side of the Workbench screen.


3.23 Using the Menu Configuraton

This section allows you to add entries into the "tools" menu on Workbench. It comes with a number of entries that allow you extract .lha files, show images etc.

To add a new entry simply click "New", select "menu" from the little GUI that appears and type a new name for this menu entry.

To actually get this menu entry to do something - you have to add a new program. ie. to launch multiview you would use the requestor to find the multiview program and then make this a "CLI" option as shown below.

The [ ] brackets mean than multiview will look for a file and try to view/show this file. If, for example, you wanted to view an .iff file you would click on the icon (on Workbench) once then select this multiview option from the tools menu.


3.24 Loading/Saving Preferences

There is an option within the NetConnect prefs menu to load someone elses preferences. This will irradicate your settings and replace them with the settings from the imported file.

Loading Preferences

This is an excellent way to swap preference files with your friends or download new preference files from our WWW support site and import the settings!

You can create your own settings and save these as a "nc.prefs" file - this can then be sent to your friends to show them your configuration! If you think you are proud of your preferences (ie. designed your own icons etc), why not send a copy to us?
