Custom Icon for toolbar configuration

[Leadcarpo]

Hi, does anyone know how to create a custom icon for a specific toolbar configuration? I will make more once I learn how, but right now I want to use a lightning bolt for the electrical toolbar configuration that I have created, thanks!

Take a look in your program data folder for "toolbars".  You can find it using the "show" button under folder preferences.  You should see a graphics file (.png) using the same name as the toolbar configuration (.toolbar).  So I think all you need to do is create a custom graphics file with the right name and the program should use it.

Thank you DBC, this worked! You wouldn't happen to know if you can link a toolbar config with a specific plan view, would you? I would like to go to my electrical saved plan view and already have the electrical tool config ready to go. I haven't found anything yet.

Not that I know of.

@Brian_Beck Please add a way to export and import user / custom toolbars from one user to another.

In regards to sharing toolbars, I found some info. I was able to create an Electrical Configuration toolbar on my home computer, and then I copied the toolbar folder from my Chief data file and I was able to import it to my office computer. The only negative, is it does not transfer the custom tool icons, and it is not a "live" folder, so each time you want to make a new configuration, you need to save a new copy of the toolbar folder. I believe that Rene Rabbitt has a video that might let you transfer the custom icons as well. I have only browsed that video, and haven't quite taken a deep dive. I do wish that Chief would make it easier to transfer things like toolbars and libraries between users!

You can also use the Import button in the Toolbar Customisation>Configuration panel to import toolbars.
