      Hello Dave,

      Thank you for the new version. Really great.

      With all icons added and "Wrap Toolbar" checked, the toolbar still flickers on start-up (Windows 7).

      I don't use all icons, and it works like a charm for me; - just in case you'd like to check it.

      Best regards.

    Hi dave-user,

    Ah, many thanks ( again ! ) for adding these TWO useful functions :

    • Start of the CustomizeToolbar dialog, when double-clicking on an empty place of the Toolbar

    • Move of any button of the Toolbar, by hitting the SHIFT key and dragging it to an other position

    From now on, your plugin does have a professional look ! Really awesome :)


    I verified, again, with this last 4.0.0.0 version, all the points, that we spoke about, in our different e-mails, and I'm glad to tell you that everything works fine, in, both, ANSI and UNICODE versions, with my Win XP configuration :-)

    Tomorrow, at work, I'll do some more tests, with my W7 machine, but I bet that everything will be OK too !

    Note :

    When the option Wrap Toolbar is NOT checked, and there are TOO MANY buttons to completely fit the Toolbar, we get a funny behaviour :

    • The first buttons, which can be displayed on the Toolbar, can also be dragged to an other position

    • The additional buttons, displayed, in the one column list, on the right part of the window, can't be dragged, of course, to an different position !

    We just have to be aware of that fact :-)

    Best Regards,

    Hi, thanks for the great plugin.

    It seems like its not working yet with the MenuIcons Plugin.. the icons appear in the menus but not in the customized toolbar...

    ( https://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/482781/thread/dbea5d02/ )

    Is there a way to look into it?

      Potentially, Customize Toolbar could read the menu bitmap when creating the buttons.

        Dave,

        I was wondering/hoping you could look into this for a future version? Would it be possible for Customize Toolbar to read the menu bitmap when creating the buttons?

    One request as well. Do you think it is possible to increase the size of the toolbar icons?

    Hello Dave,

    I find the new "Restore Recent Closed File" feature very useful.
    I've created a Python Script running the command, and added it to the toolbar.
    Would it be possible to directly add dynamically created commands to the toolbar?

    And a minor issue:
    Icons in a disabled state are rendered black on the toolbar, whereas on the menu (with the MenuIcons plugin) their color is normal gray.
    Is there anything you can do about it?

    Thank you.
