Toolbar Customization

[Laverda3c]

I watched a 3rd party video of a guy using Affinity Photo and I noticed he had the foreground/background circular colors on the left toolbar under the Zoom tool, just like in PS. I've tried to figure out how to get it there but can't find anything in the preferences. Dragging it there doesn't work either. I use the histogram a lot to I'm constantly having to click on the tabs to check my colors since I don't want another floating window. This move would be very convenient. Any ideas on how to get it there? Thanks.

I just found the video I was watching, I'll post a link and a screen shot.

It's because they're using a 'Tools Bar' with two columns instead of a single column.

If you go to View > Customise Tools > and change 'Number of Columns' at the bottom to '2', the foreground/background colour selector will appear in the Tools Bar.

Thanks -S- , that did the trick.

OK I just did that and the color selector did not appear. There are a bazillion choices I can drag over there, but none of them are the color selector. What am I missing?

 

OK, never mind. It appears only after I hit "Done". So weird, but I'm glad it worked.
