Creating a Customized Toolbar
In addition to displaying the default toolbars, you can create your
own custom toolbars. You can create custom toolbars that are shared or
window-specific. Once you create a toolbar, it acts just like a default
toolbar, and you can display it as floating or docked, as well as add,
remove, and rearrange buttons.
When you create a custom toolbar, it is automatically displayed in a
floating position. You can reposition or resize the floating toolbar
or dock it. For information on docking your toolbars as well as changing
their size and position, see Docking
or Floating a Toolbar.
