Customizing Dreamweaver overview

Dreamweaver can be customized in many ways, allowing you to work in a manner that's familiar, comfortable, and efficient for you.

The following are some of the ways you can customize Dreamweaver:

Rearrange the objects in the Object palette so that the ones you use most often are always visible, create new panels to reorganize the objects, or add new objects. See Changing the Object palette.
Change the keyboard shortcuts or names of menu items, add new commands to menus, and remove existing commands from menus. See Customizing Dreamweaver menus.
Edit the source formatting profile to gain even finer control over the HTML that Dreamweaver creates. The SourceFormat.txt file includes all the settings from the HTML Format preferences and more. See Editing the HTML source formatting profile.
Create your own commands and floating palettes using JavaScript. See Extending Dreamweaver: Basics.
Change how third-party tags (such as ASP and ColdFusion tags) appear in the Document window. See Customizing the interpretation and appearance of third-party tags.
Set preferences for everything from color schemes and highlighting to site configurations and browsers. See Setting preferences.
