Stupid MMF toolbars

OK, i've had enough of this. Since MMF1.5 (that's the first MMF i used) the toolbars have been move-around-able. I can't use the word that describes how bad, annoying and down right frustrating this is on this forum.

How many times have you accidentally miss a button but one pixel and dragged the toolbar into the middle of the screen, then never been able to get it back where it started. Also, toolbars seem to shift around when im not looking or when i open MMF for the first time that day.

Why on earth did clickteam decide to make the toolbars moveable. This is probably the only thing i dont like about the MMF interface, but it gets a 1/10 rating from me.

Rant over :)

What does everyone else think?

I think having customizable toolbars is fantastic. The best bit is the way that new keyboard shortcuts can be set up - Ctrl+Shift+Q for move to front, Ctrl+Shift+A for move to back... much quicker editing.

I like them, but it woul dbe nice to have a "reset toolbar" button (which they MIGHT have, I just never mucked up my toolars enough to look for it)

Just double click the header of the toolbar you accidentally dragged to the middle of the screen. That will restore it's original position :)

You are not supposed to move your mouse while clicking eh? ;)

Anyways, a 'lock toolbars' option would be a nice addition :D

yes

YES fgdshgd

I can't say that I accidentally move toolsbars enough for it to become annoying, but the suggestion is still an useful one :) I'd definitely lock the toolbars if the option was available.

I agree that the toolbars shift around when your not there. It should save the position of where you last had it.

They have shifted around occasionally but I don't see it as a major problem that prevents me from using MMF2.

Well I want the toolbars to be like this:

But every time I start up MMF2 it looks like this:

It's a little bug of MMF2 because MMF2 save the window size when windowed and it adapt the toolbars places to be displayed in this windowed size at start.

To prevent it, load your MMF2, set it to be windowed (not maximized), then place your toolbars and then exit MMF2.

When you'll load it again, MMF2 will have toolbars in the right places.

OK, I think it worked.

Wow, this should definitely be a sticky.

I was just about ready to post a new topic asking how to fix my toolbars, because after I reinstalled MMF2, I could not for the life of me, get them to stay the way I want them after exiting.
Decided to search real quick, not expecting to find anything, and then I found this, gave it a shot. Worked perfectly!

Thank you! :grin:

I still struggle endlessly with this. Can Clickteam not just put a button for "reset toolbars" next to the File/Edit/Help toolbar?

NO matter what i do, MMF2 always seems to reposition the toolbars. I keep dragging the bars to how i like it and when i return to MMF2 a while later its all different again :(

Just to make sure it works out for me, I re-arrange them in Windowed mode, then I maximize restore it a few times, then close it in Windowed mode. Seems to work perfectly for me.

In 1.5, the layouts were stored in each CCA, Don't know if it was changed for 2.
