Zippy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 How can you hide the horizontal toolbar below the menus? I'm on a small portable screen, never use that toolbar, and could really use the space. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi Zippy - welcome The short answer is: You can't. The Tool Bar contains some options for the Tools that are not available elsewhere. I find it hard to believe you never use the options in the Tool Bar. Never created a Transparent Gradient? Adjusted the Tolerance of the Magic Wand? Adjusted the font, font size, or font formatting in any way? How about the thickness of the Paint Brush? Surely you have??

anderpainter Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Actually, I think he's referring to the graphic toolbar, directly beneath the menu bar: ...and you're thinking of the function bar, or whatever it's called, below that. (It's a bit confusing, as the other bar does actually show the word "Tool".) I, too, have often wished I could hide PN's toolbar. I always use menus and shortcut keys, and never bother to click on toolbar buttons (though I realize many people like to do that). Vertical space is often at a premium when working with graphics, especially on portable computers. For that reason, every other graphics app I've seen has let you do things like this. It'd be a real advantage if PN would, too. Edited October 1, 2014 by anderpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Rick collectively calls both lines of icons the "Tool Bar". What you're referring to are the Common Actions icons and the View Controls.
