The Tools dialog

<p>
The Tools dialog is used mainly to control the appearance of the
Toolbox. It allows you to customize the set of tools for which
icons are shown in the Toolbox, and the order in which the icons
are arranged. Probably the most common use for it is to make the
Color tools available directly from the Toolbox. You can also use
the Tools dialog to select a tool by clicking on its symbol, but
for this purpose you might as well just use the Toolbox.
</p>
<p>
The Tools dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section on <a href="ch02s03s04.html" title="3.4. Dialogs and Docking">Dialogs and Docking</a> for help on
manipulating it. It can be activated in several ways:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
From the Toolbox menu:
<span class="guimenu">File</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Dialogs</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">T<span class="accel">o</span>ols</span>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
From an image menu:
<span class="guimenu">Dialogs</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">T<span class="accel">o</span>ols</span>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog:
<span class="guimenu">Add Tab</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">T<span class="accel">o</span>ols</span>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="simplesect" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="id3342887"></a>Grid/List modes</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
In the Tab menu, you can choose between <span class="guimenuitem">View as
Grid</span> and <span class="guimenuitem">View as List</span>.
In Grid mode, the tools are laid out in a rectangular
array. In List mode, they are lined up vertically, with each
row showing the tool name, tool icon, and an "eye" icon if the
tool is currently visible in the Toolbox.
</p>
</div>
<div class="simplesect" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="id3342642"></a>Using the Tools dialog</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The most basic thing you can do is to select a tool by clicking
on its icon: this has the same effect as clicking on an icon in
the Toolbox. You can do this in either List or Grid mode: the
other functions of the dialog are available only in List mode.
</p>
<p>
The most important function of the Tools dialog is to let you
choose which tools to make visible in the Toolbox, by toggling
the "eye" icons that appear on the left side of each row in List
mode. In particular, if you use the Color tools a lot, you may
benefit from toggling visibility on for them here.
</p>
<p>
You can also change the order of tools in the Toolbox, by
clicking on an item in the Tools dialog, in List mode, and
dragging it up or down in the list. If you screw things up, you
can always press the "Reset" button at the bottom of the dialog,
to restore the defaults for order and visibility.
</p>
<p>
Right-clicking inside the dialog produces the Tools menu, which
gives you an alternative way of toggling visibility or restoring
the defaults.
