Toolbar

The Ancestris Main Window Toolbar is a horizontal bar displaying a number of tools in the form of icons. It is located between the menu bar and the workspace.

There are also Toolbars for windows other than the main window. They are described in the corresponding pages of this documentation.

Toolbars can also be customized, at least partially. At the bottom of this page you will find a way to define their positions or directions.

 

Toolbar icons

The icons on the toolbar are organized in groups.

Each group corresponds to a logical set of similar actions.

The actions they execute are described in the corresponding menus.

Whether or not to display a group is configurable.

Customizing the Toolbar

The Toolbar can be personalized, for example by moving the groups using the "handle" on the left, the small rectangular area covered with dotted lines in relief.

Here, the "Miscellaneous" Tool group is being moved to a second line of tools.

In general, windows that have toolbars can be customized in the same way, the menu can change direction, horizontal or vertical, on one of the edges of the window.

Because of the rather limited interest of this possibility, few windows with toolbar have this function. For those who have it, the affected toolbars have the small dotted area on their left.

Here is an example with the Toolbar of the Gedcom Editor.
