3.2.1 Customizing the Tool Bar
------------------------------

The DDD tool bar buttons can appear in a variety of styles, customized
via `Edit => Preferences => Startup'.

`Images'
     This lets each tool bar button show an image illustrating the
     action.

`Captions'
     This shows the action name below the image.

   The default is to have images as well as captions, but you can
choose to have only images (saving space) or only captions.

   If you choose to have neither images nor captions, tool bar buttons
are labeled like other buttons, as in DDD 2.x.  Note that this implies
that in the stacked window configuration, the common tool bar cannot be
displayed; it is replaced by two separate tool bars, as in DDD 2.x.

   If you enable `Flat' buttons (default), the border of tool bar
buttons will appear only if the mouse pointer is over them.  This
latest-and-greatest GUI invention can be disabled, such that the button
border is always shown.

   If you enable `Color' buttons, tool bar images will be colored when
entered.  If DDD was built using M*tif 2.0 and later, you can also
choose a third setting, where buttons appear in color all the time.

   Here are the related resources (Note: Customizing):

 -- Resource: activeButtonColorKey (class ColorKey)
     The XPM color key to use for the images of active buttons (entered
     or armed).  `c' means color, `g' (default) means grey, and `m'
     means monochrome.

 -- Resource: buttonCaptions (class ButtonCaptions)
     Whether the tool bar buttons should be shown using captions (`on',
     default) or not (`off').  If neither captions nor images are
     enabled, tool bar buttons are shown using ordinary labels.  See
     also `buttonImages', below.

 -- Resource: buttonCaptionGeometry (class ButtonCaptionGeometry)
     The geometry of the caption subimage within the button icons.
     Default is `29x7+0-0'.

 -- Resource: buttonImages (class ButtonImages)
     Whether the tool bar buttons should be shown using images (`on',
     default) or not (`off').  If neither captions nor images are
     enabled, tool bar buttons are shown using ordinary labels.  See
     also `buttonCaptions', above.

 -- Resource: buttonImageGeometry (class ButtonImageGeometry)
     The geometry of the image within the button icon.  Default is
     `25x21+2+0'.

 -- Resource: buttonColorKey (class ColorKey)
     The XPM color key to use for the images of inactive buttons
     (non-entered or insensitive).  `c' means color, `g' (default)
     means grey, and `m' means monochrome.

 -- Resource: flatToolbarButtons (class FlatButtons)
     If `on' (default), all tool bar buttons with images or captions
     are given a `flat' appearance--the 3-D border only shows up when
     the pointer is over the icon.  If `off', the 3-D border is shown
     all the time.

 -- Resource: flatDialogButtons (class FlatButtons)
     If `on' (default), all dialog buttons with images or captions are
     given a `flat' appearance--the 3-D border only shows up when the
     pointer is over the icon.  If `off', the 3-D border is shown all
     the time.
