Toolbars
========
**Explorer++** has 5 internal toolbars, any of which may be enabled
(made visible) by checking one of the
:doc:`menu <../menus/view/toolbars>` items. They are
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - **Toolbar**
- **ID\***
- **Customizable**
- **Comments**
* - :doc:`Address Bar
`
- 1
- no
- set or displays the address of the currently active tab (folder)
* - :doc:`Main `
- 0
- :doc:`yes `
- provides 19 (in the current version) common tools or actions which
may be quickly accessed by clicking a button's icon
* - :doc:`Bookmarks `
- 2
- limited
- displays selected bookmarks as buttons/icons along with their name
* - :doc:`Drives `
- 3
- no
- shows and accesses all available volumes (ie. drives)
* - :doc:`Application `
- 4
- yes
- houses *shortcuts* to selected applications
\* IDs are maintained internal to **Explorer++**, but may be useful when
editing the Windows registry, or the "config.xml" (ie. :ref:`portable
` settings) file.
Moving toolbars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When :doc:`unlocked `, he toolbars may be relocated (ie. *docked*)
and *resized*, and placed on separate *rows* or combined on a *row* to
save space.
.. image:: /_static/images/toolbars/toolbar_grip.png
Using a toolbar's *grip* (found at the left side of the toolbar), it may
be dragged-and-dropped to a new row, or moved along that row effectively
resizing the toolbar to its left. Moving a toolbar along a row is only
possible when there is more than one toolbar per row.
Dragging a toolbar **up** will place it on a row with another toolbar,
while dragging a toolbar **down** (to the bottom-most row) places it on
its own row.
Toolbar positions are preserved by **Explorer++** for the next session.
.. admonition:: Bug
If the **Address Bar** has a second toolbar on the same line to the
right of it, it may be partially obscured, even after restarting
**Explorer++**.
*Chevrons*
~~~~~~~~~~
|chevron| |arrow_right| |chevron_list|
If there is insufficient room to display all toolbar items, a *chevron*
symbol (ยป) is used; clicking on the *chevron* opens the rest of the
toolbar, as a menu.
