Text Size: +
Difficulty: Easy

Tips & Warnings:

  • Save your toolbar as you customize. If PSP crashes, while customizing, you won't have to start completely over, from the beginning.
  • Once you have saved it, close PSP and then reopen again
  • Play around with different ways to customize.
  • This is for any version of PSP
  • Step 9: certain effects can cause your PSP to slow/bog down
Step1
Open your Paint Shop Pro (any version)
Step2
Right click on the toolbar (or the desktop of the PSP)
Step3
click Customize
Step4
once the menu opens, here is where you can decide which tools you'd like to have out for easy access.
Step5
Click on a tool, then drag it to the toolbar and then drop it where you'd like (on the toolbar)
Step6
Remove it the same way. (drag it off, then let go)
Step7
The toolbar area, in the customize window, are for other menus. If you'd like more menus/toolbars, just click the menu you'd like, and then position it on the other toolbars by dragging it where you'd like. Close that menu/toolbar by unclicking the box in the customize window or just clicking the close button on the menu/toolbar itself.
Step8
The Keyboard menu is for making hotkeys for your menus and PSP. Once you've make a hotkey, make sure to click "assign".
Step9
The menu area is for actions/effects on your toolbar menus...such as fold, drop, fade..etc. Play around with them to get the effect you'd like.
Step10
The Options menu is for adding different actions to your PSP in a whole, not just menus or toolbars.
Step11
and lastly, the Scripts menu is for placing icons on your scripts. You can change the icons that PSP has automatically placed or just use it for your personally made scripts.
Step12
Once you're done, you need to make sure you save your work. If you don't, then it won't save just because you close it, most times. PSP loves to 'crash' and if it does, you're customized toolbar will not come back, unless you saved it.
