Aaronjanein Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have a question... I deleted the tool bar on the left side by accident and i'm not able to get the tool bar back! Does anyone know how to do that? Thanking you in anticipation :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperD Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You can bring it back with the topmost View menu, whether in Photo or Designer. Click Show Tools: Aaronjanein and Paul Bravery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronjanein Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 thaks a lot but i have another question...is this possible with the toolbar on the right side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperD Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not positioned by default, or better said, not that way that I know of, no. Most panels can be undocked and made floating though: make them visible as required if not already, then if docked, pull their tab away to the place you´d like it to go to. If that´s not enough for you, you could detach them all, IOW make them all floating in one go: use the menu again for that, see this screen print: Once they all float, you can dimension them as wanted and position them as you like. Except for that Tools panel, which does not like to be resized AFAIK, alas. I´ve done a mix of all, showing with the screen print below. Notice that you can really dock the panels in different positions as well, see the left side. I know, a bit cumbersome, but it is doable and if you look carefully when positioning them to the sides and tops, you will see them snap into place. The good news is that when you quit Affinity, next time it opens as you left it. If this is important to you, I´d suggest you (or anybody else with that wish) raise the inversions / positioning / resize (especially of Tools) as a feature request in these forums, but I have no idea of your chances with that, there is already an awful lot to do without it... ;) PS: your screen prints didn´t show anything to me, except some gear running forever (like you see when checking for updates in the AppStore).

Staff MEB Posted October 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2015 Adding to what JasperD said you can also change the number of columns used by the Tools panel, going to View ▸ Customise Tools... on the bottom of the dialog.

JasperD Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Aha! Thanks for that MEB. I thought it would be something simple like that, have seen it before. :) I suppose you can get from this that I never tried to inverse them. Besides it wouldn´t help me either, as the options are out of view when Tools have already been positioned at the right side. I suppose that a feature request for it should then include the request to invert potential options as needed. Details, I know. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
