Customizable toolbars
Starting with Viewer 3.2.0, the Second Life Viewer provides highly
customizable toolbars. By default, one toolbar appears at the left and
one at the bottom of the Viewer window. Toolbars include buttons for
your appearance, inventory, people, places, voice settings, text and
voice chat, and many more.
You can customize these toolbars in several ways:
- Drag and drop buttons to different locations
within the toolbars and between the toolbars, including to the right
side of the window. When you click and drag a button, blue "drop
zones" appear at the left, bottom, and right edges of the Viewer
window: these are places where you can drop the buttons. To create a
right toolbar, simply drag buttons to the blue "drop zone" on the right
side of the window. - Add or remove buttons. Right-click on a toolbar button and choose Toolbar buttons... (or choose Me > Toolbar buttons... or press Ctrl-T)
to show the TOOLBAR BUTTONS window. Dragging buttons to this window
removes them from a toolbar; dragging buttons from this window adds
them to a toolbar. Click Restore Defaults to return the toolbars to their default configuration. - Choose whether the buttons have labels. Right-click on a toolbar button and choose Icons and labels to display labels or Icons only to display icons only.
