Customize Display Right-Click Menu

The Customize Display right-click menu displays when you right-click over a blank area of a toolbar (not when the cursor is over a button). Use this menu to toggle the display of various user-interface elements, customize the display of toolbars, and dock or float items such as the command panel.

Right-click a blank area of a toolbar to open the Customize Display right-click menu.

An expanded version of the menu opens when you right-click immediately above, below, or to the right of the command panel tabs: in these locations, the cursor changes to look like a stack of two sheets of paper and the “Command Panel” tooltip appears. In addition, the menu displays when you right-click at the right edge of the command panel when docked, or, when floating, at the right or left edge.

Interface

These options appear at the top of the expanded menu, available by right-clicking the command panel (see preceding):

Dock: Docks the active item to the specified location: Top, Bottom, Left, or Right. The command panel can be docked only Left or Right.

NoteFor more information on docking toolbars, see Customizing the User Interface.
Float: Floats the active item.

NoteThis option is available only for docked items.
Minimize: Docks the command panel, if necessary, and causes it to display as a thin vertical strip labeled “Command Panel.” To open the minimized command panel temporarily, position the mouse cursor over this thin strip.

To return to the standard command panel, use the Dock or Float function.

The following options are displayed in all cases:
