Updated with Nathan's additional icons.
This download includes the complete plugin. You may delete the toolbars.rb file and toolbars folder, if you want. You can also just over-write the files and folders.

...Thanks once again!

Isn't this a nice a logical solution to organizing/accessing SU commands!
Thank you, Jim.Jim:
I noticed that the "Toggle Axes" icon doesn't change its background when clicked upon. Is there a way to allow this?
Can the following be added:
TwoPoint Perspective?
Move Scene Up
Move Scene DownI don't suppose you could use a toolbar.txt file to call script.rb files could you?
Too bad something similar can't be done for the SU menus via a .txt file. -

Just curious if anyone discovered the "double" meaning of some of the icons?
Nathan Cheever (alz) is the one who did all the work and deserves all the kudos for the custom icons. Thanks again, Nathan!
No one? Oh well. Try double-clicking one of the Edge Styles buttons; like Display Profiles. Not all buttons support double-clicking, though.

There does not appear to be way to get the state of the axes from Ruby.
I can make it toggle, but I don't kow what state it is to begin with.@unknownuser said:

That's way cool! I'd never have found it on my own, though.

Very nice.

The new icons are great touch to the whole.
One command that you might consider, which is buried deep, Toggle crosshairs on and off.
Best,
-
Unfortunately, there is no way to set or get the crosshairs option using Ruby.

hi Jim, i had a look at all the commands - 'is that it', or is there a way for me to add others - for example sandbox tools?
or... is there a list of all available su commands (not included in your plugin) i can try to tweak with one of your existing examples?
(fantastic plugin/icons btw)

I am working on including a way for anyone to add their own commands. I would like to keep it separated from the "offical" release, so likely will have a "user" folder for these.

great.. it could become the best way if google does not address the present toolbar layout nightmare

I’m curious if Ruby can toggle (artificially) “Display crosshairs” check-box by causing a mimic of Window Key-suite…!
1.If ‘Click-drag-release’ radio-button is selected:
Alt+W, P,P, Enter, D, Tab, Tab, Tab, Tab, Spacebar, Enter
2.If ‘Autodetect’ or ‘Click-move-click’ radio-button is selected:
Alt+W, P,P, Enter, D, Tab, Tab, Tab, Tab, Tab, Spacebar, EnterCornel

But how for example I can add toolbars of my own, I got many one-button TB and I want to combine them all in 1, like that also, I won't have to spend 20 min on arranging the toolbar anytime.... is it possible to make it user friendly add add buttons?

Right now, there is no easy way to add your own buttons. If you have a specific button you would like available, I can add it to the list.

Cheers Jim for a great solution!!!!
I need to get here a big more frequently, I miss so much!!!

Hi Jim, i actually have a request for a button (perhaps it's more a new script or added to the ruby toolbar)
basically i imagine a button that when pressed can call/load a script previously assigned: and that i can change/reassign a different script.. how does that sound?
-
Hi Jim !
Is it possible to create a button that changes its icon depending on the result of the function? All icons are created before, and result of the function gives the adress of the specific icon... -

Yes, this can be done. I use a similar technique when writing and testing my scripts. I have a load and reload button. Load lets me browse for a Ruby script and then loads it. Reload reloads the last loaded script.
Can you clarify that you do mean to load a script, and not assign some selectable function to a single button?

Why not try and let us know?
