      The least they could do was to add a Reset Toolbars/Windows button somewhere for the poor things who have lost their Shadows dialog or some other feature while messing around with dual screens or screen resolutions or other features.

      I'd be happy if they allowed us to add / remove individual icons from the toolbars. You know, like every other software package has done since the introdution of Windows 2.1

      ANd yes, being able to customise toolbars would also be a nice feature.

      I believe that would constitute a new wish, thus creation of a new thread in the wishlist.

          And fly-out toolbars would be great.

            I've had to arrange my toolbars for the third/fourth time today. Really annoying! I hope this will be fixed soon so one can lock your tools (menu top and left) in position so in the even of something happening you don't have to rearrange them afterwards.

            I think this has been mentioned (requested) in the wishlist before, hope it gets the attention it deserves.

            I'm with you Julian and all, very annoying. I tend to use minimum toolbars to the top and 'float' the Large tooset to the left of the screen....

            Custom toolbars would be great also; I notice that MAC SU has an undo / redo toolbar by itself. [please correct me if I am wrong] PC SU has it in the 'Standard' toolbar which takes up valuable screen. Would be great to have a separate toolbar instead of Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y...

                Andrew, ive got a feeling the toolbars are completely customisable in macSU, although i might be wrong as ive never actually tried it. It would cetainly be nice to have this feature for windows, would certainly help to maximise working space.

                              Has anyone been working with really small buttons? I mean when you untick the View - Toolbars - Large Button? I haven't had problems with unsticking icons since i started using small (tiny) buttons which admittedly is a bit of a strain on one's eyes.

                                Photoshop and CAD for that matter have the ability to save profiles for different users. This would solve the issues of toolbars and also templates, and the profile could include Rubys as well.

                                  I cannot say how many times I have mentioned that I want locking toolbars but here I go again...

                                    It doesn't make sense if in my profile the toolbars are unlocked again 👊

                                      Its more of a seperate issue, but if you could take your work space with you, those who Hotdesk or travel to different offices would not have to spend 5 mins setting up the toolbars. If SU 7 had lockable toolbars and the profile system they would work together really well.

                                        I added a couple new ruby scripts today and what do you know... all my toolbars were flung all over my screen. And then I had to fix it all over again at home.
                                        Please fix this Google.

                                            Another thing in regards to toolbars. Whenever I need for whatever reason to resize the SketchUp window, toolbar mayhem occurs. I wish they would not re arrange themself automatically. I prefer getting a drop down menu with the off-screen tools appearing instead as with many other application with toolbars.

                                            This is another example where SketchUp tried to sort things out for you without actually succeeding. (Ref: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14839)
