Dear Hal,
AmiBroker saves toolbars position/state between sessions. It
may happen however
that your arrangement causes some toolbars to be cut inthe
middle and then layout engine
tries to fit them in the space provided.
So could you please explain (or better send a screenshots
- "before close" and "after starting")
in what way toolbars are shifted.
As for the remaining points:
1. It is a good idea. Will do this.
2. Please note that there is a View->Toolbars->... menu
where you can switch OFF the bars you don't
want to see.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Subject: [amibroker] Button control of
Tool bars.
Dear Tomasz,After looking at your
lengthily "To Do" list it gave me appreciation for the non-pressured luxury of
this "retired" life. I have noted that your constant improvements
are providing a bit of "page constipation". This is the situation where
there is so much on a page that it gets in the way of itself. As a
"for instance", each time I boot up AB, I note that various tool bars have
shifted from where I left them. I've determined that the most efficient layout
that I can make (leaving maximum room for charting), leaves the end symbols of
two tool bars slightly off screen. With each boot of AB, I move the tool bars
back to their most efficient position (for me), and they stay put for that
session. Then it occurred to me that you might consider the following
suggestion/s, or something that would reduce the crowding problem1.
Remove the word "Ticker" off of the window for viewing the Ticker or Name. It
seems to me that we all know which is which when either appears in the
window. This would save about 1/2 inch of tool bar space and allow ALL
tool bars to be viewed at one time. 2. Add an Icon Button to represent
of all the other tool bars, and enable for the saving of the tool bars which
we want in our customized window. "Save" the tool bar setup with the Screen
Layout default. Now those of us who don't desire, at this time, to have the
drawing, or Line or Indicator Builder SET displayed ALL THE TIME, can utilize
that space for maximizing the chart length or reducing the confusion thatALL
tool bars -- displayed ALL the time produce. There might be other
things you know that could be controlled by an Icon button. Knowing that you
already have redundant controls for most screen features, it would seem
that a drive towards simplicity might be of value to all of us.
Thanks, again, for your marvelous and ever fascinating product. It is
simply GREAT to be the recipient of such works of talent. As usual,
please don't let this request add to your workload, the thought is, that in
the all over picture of your product development scheme, it might assist in
the reduction of some of the secondary level problems that you might
face.Best Regards, Hal Brehe Your
