High Color Toolbox Editor

This modeless dialog box lets you customize the high color toolbox. You can select from any number of predefined configurations, drag icons to the toolbox to add them, and even recreate the toolbox using a different size for the icons.

Configuration

This list represents all of the toolbox configurations available. The Icons folder contains two files for every configuration: A .hci file containing the icons rendered as transparent bitmaps, and a .tbx file, containing the set of menu commands for the toolbox.

Icon Source

This lets you create a totally different icon set to use, which determines the actual look of each icon. To create an alternate icon source file, save the loaded layout to a different name in the special Icons folder (which is in the LED Wizard program folder), then restart the software.

New

Press this button to create a new named toolbox configuration.

Remove

Press this button to remove the selected toolbox configuration.

Rename

Use this to rename the current icon configuration. This renames all associated files located in the Icons folder.

Menu Commands

This list is the all menu commands in the software that can be assigned an icon and/or placed in the toolbox. Not every command has an icon, but you can easily create one yourself.

The procedure for creating your own icons is simple:

1. Make the sure the High Color Toolbox Editor dialog box is visible.

2. Create a new graphic or group, as if you were designing a sign, and select it.

3. Simply double-click the corresponding menu command in the Menu Commands list. This establishes a link between the graphic (as icon) and the menu command.

4. Click Render All Icons and your icon will be available as an icon shortcut for the menu command you choose. You can then drag that menu command / icon pair right onto the live toolbox to add it to the toolbox.

Icon Size

This is the size of the icons in pixels. The Margin setting will decrease the actual rendered size by the corresponding percent of this icon size.

Margin

This adds a margin around each icon so they don't bunch up too much and are easier to read.

Grayscale

This option will make all icons grayscale, if you prefer to not have our colorful icons interfere with the color perception of your designs.

Highlight Unassigned

This draws a small "U" next to all graphics that don't have a menu command associated with them.

Default Toolbars

This text box lets you define the default toolbars that appear docked at the top of the window when this icon configuration is selected. You enter here the names of the icon groups that identify the toolbars you wish see docked at the top of the window, separated by semicolons. The names must be exactly match the group names for them to appear.

Render All Icons

This command converts all the icons defining in the current layout to a set of small transparent bitmaps which are directly used in the high color toolbox.
