Okay it was something simple. In case anyone else has a similar problem and comes across this post.

The tool bars had to be turned on. From the menus at the top of SU choose 'Window' 'Preferences' 'Extensions' then look for the 'Custom Toolbars' extension in the PlugIns list and put a check mark in the box. Close and restart SU.

I download the toolbar put the files: 'toolbars.rb' and the 'toolbars' folder in my SU plugins folder and upon opening SU nothing shows up. None of the menus,'plugins','View\toolbars' etc. show anything available from Jim's toolbar and none of the premade example toolbars show up in SU. From the SU operational side it is as if the new toolbar plugin doesn't even exist. Maybe it is just something simple that I am overlooking or doing wrong.

Any one know of why I can't Jim's custom toolbar plugin to work. I have tried downloading it numerous times. All of the other plugins that I have downloaded work fine. I am using SU 8 Pro. And have recently installed V-Ray. I don't know why but I am suspecting V-Ray might have something to do with the toolbar plugin not starting. Since Installing V-Ray it seems like it takes SU a full minute or more to open up when first starting. Previously SU opened almost instantly. I was hoping to create my own toolbars to save some real estate. I use shortcut keys for the majority of my commands, but still like a few handy icons on a toolbar. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
