Custom bars and full screen

**srdjan** · 11 September 2009, 08:14 PM

I don't know if it is an error or feature but my custom bars dissapear when I switch xara to full screen.
Is there a way to keep them visible in full screen?

Regards

Unfortunately not.
All versions of Xtreme hide custom tool bars whether docked or floating when at Fullscreen.

Custom shortcut keys obviously still work.

not exactly true, not exactly false.

what you have to do is when in full screen mode set up the tool bars you want,
takes a little time in the beginning, but they will be there the next time you go
into full screen.

it appears xara maintains separate tool bar configurations for windowed and full screen modes.

adios

Xtreme does create separate registry trees for the custom toolbars.

This is news to me. I've always used cutomised toolbars and certainly in the past ran at full screen most of the time to maximise screen space with no loss of toolbars and its no different now.
See the invevitable screenshot attached.

Hmm - They look different to me Derek?
Perhaps you already setup toolbars for each screen mode?
When the OP posted the quested I tested this in all version from X1 up - and custom tools bars definitely disappear in full-screen mode.
sunland's tip solves this issue nicely though.

Yes they are different, bad example, but both are custom and both remain exactly as I made them. If I was a bit more anal they would be the exactly same but as it is they are similar enough to have the same often used shortcus in more or less the same place.
