you just fixed my request in this latest version.
the toolbar now is just a bit larger than the used icons
btw.. i use it in connection with a toolbar button.... so to open it when needed.

Hi, Some super-smal updates.

Jinj: I'm not sure what you mean?

Fajar: Is there any examples of filters regarding max versions etc. to check version info in the help file? Or some scripts i can look at somewhere?

I think an install file probably is the easyest solution?

jinj · 2011-04-10

which lines need to be tweaked to get a 26 bright toolbar?
just a bit than the icon 24x24

Hi,

Thank you all for the feedback jinj og Fajar. This is what i got so far.
The script copy itself to scripts/Startup now and dock to the left side when 3DS Max Starts up.

The icons is terrible now, so if anyone has the time to make some great icons, I would greatly appreciate it.

Do not know if I get so much time the next two weeks and keep at it, but if someone wants to change the script, feel free to do so, we are all better served if it is optimal and minimalistic. It's not everyone that wants it to start automatically either, so we should probably make an installer that installs with different configurations/setups.

@least put some filter, what button will work under max 2009 and max 2012...using max version method.

Hi,

Thank you for thefeedback jinj. I started with a 24x24 icon based version yesterday because i totaly agree with you regarding to the space it takes :)
I just had to learn about integrating icons yesterday, so i hope i can finnish a version that dock on the left verticaly with icons to be much more minimalistic during the next few days. I also have to make some icons, that's the tricky part ;)

Best regards,

hi,
at first your script is very very useful... and avoid a lot of lazy operations to get the right display setting ;)

i have a request... the interface is to large to be docked on a toolbar,
what about to decrease the largeness by doing it more like a toolbar... and replace all the text button with icons 24X24 or bigher, a pan would be awesome.
at time i'm using it with a short cut button.

you could add 2 display setting... the one like is it for now... and a second one icons based... more more smaller.

anyway thanks for sharing
