Zugg Software :: View topic - Removing Standard Buttons toolbar from Settings

Wanderer Joined: 23 Apr 2005 Posts: 57

I'm trying to remove the Standard Buttons toolbar from the Settings window. Obviously this is just a case of unticking View/Toolbars/Standard Buttons - however the problem I'm having is they keep reappearing whenever the Settings window is closed and re-opened. I'd really like to be able to remove them permanently, and was wondering if anyone knew how to do so?

You really do not want to remove them permanently. Currently the only way to do so MAY be by deleting/disabling them in the system.mud or similar file (global.mud?) found in the main directory, but messing with that file is an overall bad idea even if you DO know what you're doing.

A better way to disable them is by going to Settings --> Global Settings... You can simply Right the buttons in the list and uncheck 'Enabled' and it will be removed from the display. And it's a lot cleaner than editing the files directly.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately disabling the buttons under Global Settings only provided a partial solution, as a couple still remained on the toolbar itself ("New", "Edit", "Details", "List"), so this really didn't free up the extra screen space I was looking for.

I was able to achieve a reasonably effective workaround by creating a macro CTRL-G (the menu shortcut usually used to open the Settings window) with the value:

#MENU {settings|edit settings}
#ALARM +.01 {#MENU {settings|view|toolbars|standard buttons}
#MENU {settings|view|toolbars|filter bar}}

This results in a very slight amount of screen flicker in the instant between the window being opened and the toolbars being removed, but I'd still recommend the same for anyone looking to free up some extra space.
