Toolbars Configuration

KOrganizer has three toolbars: a Main toolbar (with New Event, New To-do, Print, Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Find, Go Backward, Go Forward and Goto Today buttons), a Views toolbar (for selecting between Whats Next view, List view, Day view, Work Week view, Week view, Next X Day view, Month view, To-do List view and Journal view buttons), a Schedule toolbar (with Publish Item Information, Send Invitations to Attendees, Send Status Update and Open Address Book buttons) and a Filters toolbar, which allows you to choose a filter for the KOrganizer views. You can customize these toolbars in various ways: you can add new icons, change the icon size, change toolbar position and add text description to the icons.

There are two ways to change the position of the toolbars:

The toolbars are configured in two places:

Configure Toolbars Dialog

This dialog allows you to customize the selection of tools on the toolbar. Open it choosing the Settings-> Configure Toolbars... menu item.

Choosing the toolbar

First you need to choose the toolbar that you want to modify. All actions apply to the toolbar that is selected from the drop down menu at the top of the window.

Available Actions

There are two rectangles below the toolbar title: Available actions and Current actions. Using the left and right arrows (located between the rectangles) you can move icons from the Available actions group to the Current actions group. The toolbar will have every icon that is in the Current actions box. The up and down arrows allow you reposition an icon.

Tip

Remember that less icons may be better, because the screen is less busy and therefore it is easier to find the toolbar buttons you actually use. For instance if you always cut and paste with the keyboard hotkeys, you do not need the Cut, Copy and Paste icons.

Toolbar Context Menu

This menu allows you to change the look of the toolbars. Right click the toolbar to access this menu.

Text Position

Initially, icons do not have any text assigned. You may prefer having text under each icon, or text alongside each icon. You can also have plain texts without any icons.

Orientation

You can have the toolbar at the top, bottom, left or right side. If you choose Floating position, the toolbar will be displayed outside the main KOrganizer panel and you can move it around. If you choose Flat, the toolbar will collapse into a tiny rectangle. You can later click that rectangle and the toolbar will appear again.

Icon Size

You can change the size of the icons. Make your choice between small, medium and large icons.
