Customize Dialog

SecureCRT


The Customize dialog allows you to customize the user interface menu bar and toolbars to suit your needs and preferences. You can show or hide toolbars, rearrange menu commands and toolbar buttons, add or remove commands and buttons, and create new menus and toolbars.

Note: You can also customize your toolbars by using the ALT+drag method. To do this, place the mouse pointer over a menu title or toolbar button, hold down the ALT key, and drag the menu or button to a new location, or totally off the bar if you want to remove it.

The Customize Toolbar dialog can be accessed in several ways:

Generate/BULLET.gif    Right-click on any of the bars and select Customize... from the context menu.

Commands tab

Categories window

Displays the categories of commands available for use in menus and buttons. Selecting a category displays the associated commands in the Commands window.

Commands window

Displays the commands associated with the selected category. These commands can be added to menus and used as toolbar buttons.

You add commands or buttons to menus and toolbars by clicking on that command and dragging it to the desired menu or toolbar. If a command that you want to add as a toolbar button does not have a button icon, SecureCRT will create a button on the toolbar displaying the command's name.

Toolbars tab

Toolbars window

Displays the Menu bar, Main toolbar, and any other toolbars that have been created. To hide a toolbar in the interface, uncheck the box to the left of that toolbar's name. The Menu bar cannot be hidden.

When the Customize dialog is open, SecureCRT allows you to add commands to and remove commands from menus using drag and drop. To add a command to a menu, drag that command from the Commands tab to the menu where you want it. To remove a command from a menu, open that menu and drag the command off of that menu.

Clicking on the Reset button on this tab will reset the selected toolbar to its default values. Clicking on the Reset All button resets all the toolbars.
