Toolbars

The Toolbars tab allows you to activate or deactivate specific toolbars, as well as create your own specialized ones.

XML Spy toolbars contain symbols for the most frequently used menu commands.
For each symbol you get a brief "tool tip" explanation when the mouse cursor is directly over the item and the status bar shows a more detailed description of the command.

You can drag the toolbars from their standard position to any location on the screen, where they appear as a floating window. Alternatively you can also dock them to the left or right edge of the main XML Spy window.

Toolbar settings defined in the Grid, Schema design and Text view are valid in those views. The Browser view toolbars are independent of all the other views.
