Customize
This dialog box is opened from the Edit | Customize menu item or by right-clicking within the toolbar menu bar and selecting Customize. It can be used to customize RTMC's toolbars and menus.
Commands
The Commands tab allows you to drag and drop any command available from RTMC's menus onto a toolbar. As a menu name is highlighted in the Categories column, its menu items will be shown in the Commands column. Any command can then be added to the Standard or Layout Toolbar by clicking on the command name and dragging it to the desired position on the toolbar.
With the Customize dialog box open, buttons can be removed from a toolbar by dragging and dropping them away from any toolbar. Buttons can be moved from one toolbar to another by dragging and dropping them to the desired position.
Toolbars
The Toolbars tab allows you to show or hide the toolbars, reset toolbar buttons to their default configuration, and show text labels on the toolbars. Clear the box next to the Layout Toolbar, Standard Toolbar, or Toolbox to hide the toolbar. (Note that the Menu Bar cannot be hidden.) Press the Reset button to reset only the highlighted toolbar. Press the Reset All button to reset the Layout Toolbar, Menu Bar, Standard Toolbar, and ToolBox to their default button configurations. Select the box next to Show text Labels to add text labels to each of the buttons on the highlighted toolbar.
Keyboard
The Keyboard tab allows you to create new keyboard shortcuts for any commands available from RTMC's menus. As each menu name is chosen under Category, its menu items will be shown under Commands. When a command is highlighted in the Commands column, its current keyboard shortcut(s) will be shown in Current Keys. To add a new keyboard shortcut, type the key sequence in the Press New Shortcut Key field. Then press the Assign button to assign this shortcut to the currently highlighted command. (Note that if the key sequence entered is already assigned, this will be indicated in the Assigned to field. You will need to remove this assignment before assigning the key sequence to a different command.) To remove any current keyboard shortcuts, highlight the shortcut under Current Keys and then press the Remove button. Pressing the Reset All button will reset all keyboard shortcuts to their default values.
NOTE: There is only one Accelerator available in RTMC. Therefore, Default is the only available option in the Set Accelerator for field.
Menu
The Menu tab allows you to configure the appearance of an open menu.
The Menu animations drop-down box determines how a menu is opened when a menu name is pressed. Choose None for no animation, Unfold to have the menu unfold down and to the right, Slide to have the menu slide down, Fade to have the menu fade in, or Default to use the default animation.
The Menu shadows check box determines whether shadows are shown around an open menu. Select the check box to display shadows. Clear the check box to disable shadows.
NOTE: Only one menu configuration is available for RTMC. Therefore, Default Menu is the only option available under Show Menus for.
NOTE: No user-configurable context menus are available in RTMC. Therefore, the right half of the Menu tab is always disabled.
Options
The first two check boxes determine whether screen tips are shown when you hover over icons on RTMC's toolbars and whether shortcut keys are included in the screen tips. Select the Show Screen Tips on toolbars check box to show screen tips. Clear the check box to disable screen tips. If screen tips are being displayed, select the Show shortcut keys in Screen Tips check box to include keyboard shortcuts in the screen tips.
Right-Click Menu
Right-clicking on one of RTMC's menus or buttons with the Edit | Customize dialog box open, brings up a menu with the following options:
Reset to Default - Resets a button to its default configuration.
Copy Button Image - Copies a button image to the Windows clipboard.
Delete - Deletes the menu or button. (A menu or button that has been deleted can be restored by resetting the menu bar or the appropriate toolbar from the Toolbars tab of the Edit | Customize dialog box.)
Button Appearance - Opens a dialog box from which you can choose to display an Image, Text, or Image and Text. Note that you can specify the text to be displayed, but RTMC does not allow you to select a user-defined image. Also note that for a menu, Text Only is the only option available. Therefore, this dialog box only allows you to change the text that is displayed.
Image - Designates that a button will display only an image.
Text - Designates that a button will display only text. The text that is displayed can be changed from the Button Appearance menu item.
Image and Text - Designates that a button will display an image and text. The text that is displayed can be changed from the Button Appearance menu item.
Start Group - Inserts a divider bar before the menu or button.
