All the little triangle in the bottom right means is the button has a menu. Right-click anywhere on the button to see the menu.

[Astraios]

Thx for reply - there is no triangle in my version!!

Do you see it in yours?

[Astraios]

Is there another way to achive the customize-menue?

Yes. Depends on the theme. Custom themes need to be modified to reflect the change. There are now two sets of buttons for the smart tool.

[Astraios]

Ohhh - that sounds reliefing...

I'm using a custom theme.

Do you know the modifications I'll have to go thru?

[scook]

The button images "Smart Tool" and "Smart Tool (customized)" are in Theme > Control Bar > Tools in the Theme Editor.

[Astraios]

Wow - I'll try this - and (guess this needs at least10 efforts to sucess)

Thank you ?

[Astraios]

Okay, I localized it, but what to do then?

[Astraios]

Okay, now I made it - but shouldn't it look like this?

[scook]

There are two button sets

• Smart Tool - used when all menu items are enabled
• Smart Tool (customized) - used when some items are not enabled

This

is the one used when the menu does not all have items enabled.

When running a custom theme it is impossible to say what the screen will look like without seeing how the buttons are defined in the theme editor.

Thanks!  I frequently try things that are new to me based on issues others have.  This discussion now makes more sense to me. Than ks for raising the question, for the replies, and for the dialog.

In case its not clear from the size of the 4 screen shots, the arrow in the customized smart tool button is shaded, while the one before (not-customized) is solid.
