Turning menu and tool bar items on and off
In addition to configuring the layout of a perspective you can
also control several other key aspects of a perspective. These include:
- The visibility of individual menu and tool bar items.
- The availability of command groups (groupings of menu items, tool bar
items and key bindings).
- The items in the New, Window > Open Perspective and
Window > Show View menus.
Try turning off a tool bar item:
-
Select Window > Customize Perspective...
-
Select the Tool Bar Visibility tab.
-
Expand the File item.
-
Uncheck Print and click OK.
-
Observe that the toolbar no longer includes the
Print icon.
Try turning off a menu item:
-
Select Window > Customize Perspective...
-
Select the Menu Visibility tab.
-
Expand the File item.
-
Uncheck Print and click OK.
-
Observe that the File menu no longer includes the
Print item.
After experimenting with the other options on the Customize
Perspective dialog, choose Window > Reset Perspective to return
the perspective to its original state.
