...My toolbars change a lot. I turn them on and off all the time. I uninstall plugins very often by moving them out of the plugins folder. Then put them back later when I need them again. I use my SU UI very dynamically, it would be awesome if it was built to be more flexible naturally instead of having to sort of run the show manually...
Ditto. I have many disabled toolbars and even disabled plugins which I use less frequently. Despite the very important and useful improvements with toolbar restore and such, I would also love to see some further development here.
-
I love the simplicity of the SU toolset and like to focus on getting the best out it by not having a cluttered workspace. Had that on previous softs. I also run very few plugins...

KISS....Keep it simple Silly....I can't stand more than one row of Icons. I rarely have the floating dialog items up unless I need them. And then as soon as I no longer need them they get closed. I'm all about screen real estate and I want the work area to be the biggest possible area.
Screen Resolution 1920x1200

I'm not an intensive user - a lot of terrain work, and measuring. Some point cloud and DXF/DWG import export for survey details, and some rendering. I use specifiic plugins (Put on Layer, Pipe along path, co-ords tag, points cloud) extensively.<p>

Hi,
I know it must be redundant but is there a solution to save the settings of the menu bar?

Do you mean the toolbar positions? Yes, there is in version 8.

Here is mine.
-
I have dual screen setup at work.
- I put all the toolbars as crammed up as possible - trying to maintain their positions so I remember where everything is.
- the different windows I let float around on the second screen, because when they stick together, things get lost outside of the screen.
- I've got just about every key on the keyboard mapped to a function or plugin... If I've got something mapped I try to keep it's toolbar off.
(I've got an idea for a separate thread for everybody's keyboard shortcuts, if that interests anyone)
-
... and mine.
I really don't like to have the bars more than 2 icons wide/deep; I'd rather find them on the menus than take up any more real estate; and frankly, icons are harder to find the more rows and columns you have...and all those slight delays add up. However, the 3 palettes are open all the time. It would be nice if you could crush the Materials a little smaller, but there seems to be a limit beyond which it won't shrink any further.
-
And here's mine - single screen.
It has never been so crowded before, because I have used very few plugins in the past. Now I'm trying out a lot of them, and probably I'll remove those that I don't use. And I'll probably move that right side single bar to the left side and make it a 3-col? I use shortcuts for everything, including show/hide dialogs/panels, so it's quick to get a clean screen.

Just realized that I haven't shown you MY SketchUp yet. You'll probably all think this is kind of funny, but it is the honest truth. This is really how I use SketchUp– and I do use it pretty frequently, too. I have keyboard shortcuts memorized for the small number of tools I use, and use a keyboard shortcut (q, for no particular reason) to toggle my panels on and off.

Well, you Mac users...
I cannot believe that you do not get some share from Apple because the Mac version is much easier to customize!

downside is you stuck with ATI cards.

Here's mine. I recently started to use a three icons wide toolbar at the left side both for getting all plugins in view and for not having a too wide and low workscreen. (I also use VRay and Twilight that is temporarily removed here.)
My plugins:
-
Very empty with, on occasion, an extra plugin toolbar on the left.
