Customizing your Xara workspace

[Big Frank]

@ Frank: you must have a huge screen. I toyed with the idea of stashing the tool palettes on the other screen and just pulling them over when I need them but that seems like a bit of a nuisance.

finally sorted xdp9x and my screens



plenty of room for more buttons up there!

I go for a more minimal approach. Very few icons at all. I'll take snap when I'm next home.

I decided to leave just one bar on the left, and put the other bar on the right.

That's an interesting way to do it Rik. I can't get mine to dock on the right but I suspect that's because I have a dual monitor set up so instead of docking the tool bar just slides over to the other screen.

[Rik]

I did try both bars on the left. But, I've been working with just one line of icons since the start, that I didn't like two icons side-by-side.
It's all personal preferences, isn't it?
What I prefer, someone else may not.
That's why when something is customizable, then that makes for a better programme.

I tried customizing mine, but I'm so accustomed to the way it is shipped that I find it very difficult to deal with, but that's just me. Maybe if I keep trying I'll come up with something I like because the fly-outs are a nuisance.

That's why I've done mine the way I've shown it in Post #24.
There's just one flyout.

I like my icons to be on show and ready to use - as much as I can, space allowing!

Love to customize my Xara workspace, but 1 question... Does anyone know how to save the workspace as an actual file so that it can be loaded up again in the future without having to customize all over again the same way the shortcuts are saved and can be loaded later on???
