Customize Toolbar

Customize Toolbar is a cool plugin for Notepad++, which is that handy text and code editor built into Windows. If you think it could be even better with more options, you’re probably already using Notepad++. This plugin lets you add or remove buttons on the toolbar, helping you work faster and get more done!

Installing Customize Toolbar

So, how do you get this plugin? Well, since it’s an extension, you'll need to go through the Plugin Manager to install it. If you can’t find it there, don't worry! Just copy the DLL file into your Notepad++ directory. After that, restart the app and voilà – the extension should show up and be ready for installation!

How to Add Buttons

The whole point of Customize Toolbar is to let you add your favorite buttons right where you want them on the toolbar. You can easily add a new button by dragging it to your preferred spot while holding down the Shift key. One tip: it's best to set up your toolbar after you've activated any other plugins so all their buttons are visible.

Create Custom Buttons

This plugin also lets you create your own custom buttons! If there are specific icons or images you use often, this feature will save you tons of time. Just remember that you'll need to tweak the menu string in the configuration file—it's made up of five comma-separated fields.

Image Requirements

When you're adding images for your custom buttons, make sure they are 16x16 pixels in size, with an 8-bit depth in BMP format. Also, don’t forget to put them in the right field in the configuration file; otherwise, you'll just see a default hammer icon instead of your cool new image.

Boost Your Productivity

The Customize Toolbar plugin is super useful for organizing Notepad++'s toolbar just how you like it—tailored to fit both your work style and personal preferences!
