View modes

Menus in True Launch Bar can be of the following four types.

Default

This is the regular view mode used by default. All items of the menu are listed from top to bottom and from left to right. If all items of a menu cannot fit in one column, the scrollbar will appear. If the number of columns allowed for the menu is greater than one, the program will fill the first column from top to bottom, then the second one, and so on. If the content of a menu can fit in a single column, the other columns will not be displayed.

Icons only

When this view mode is selected, True Launch Bar will show icons only. It is recommended that you set the number of columns more than one for the “Icons only” mode. The columns will be filled from left to right and from top to bottom. True Launch Bar will always create as many columns as it is set in the menu settings.

Icons with text

This view mode is completely identical to “Icons only”, except that in this mode TLB will show text labels below each icon.

Multicolumn text menu

This view mode is identical to the default view mode, except that TLB will always try to arrange menu items in multiple columns. If you set the number of columns in the settings to one, this view mode will be completely identical to the default view mode.
