Menu for managing custom toolbars that live in a 3d view. So it wasn't designed for the top menu or the bottom toolbar.
Use to select toolbar nodes, save them to a store or a library. Load from the store or library. Temporarily hide the toolbars to get them out of the way when switching to modelside. Easily save toolbars and transfer them to another layout.
Version 2 of the toolbar manager is here:

Re: Custom Toolbar Manager
January 8 2012 - Update
I discovered that scripts can be run from the layouts tabs, so this update creates a script tab that can be used to recreate the toolbar manager. It makes it easier to open custom toolbars after a layout change.

Re: Custom Toolbar Manager
Super great scripts!
Added all of the Unofficial Update's toolbars except for ClintonsToolbarManagerToolbar & WorkspaceNav with their original names to the Toolbar Manager Saved the UserToolbarControlFrame in the Default layout minus the Prototype name
This eliminates the Reset from the toolbar's UI
Now when you switch to Model with any of these toolbars visible, you simply press the Hide - Visible button Switch back to Workspace and press the Display All button Super easy!
I am going to add this Default layout and setup to the tS761 Unofficial Update
Thank you Clinton!
Wished I learned these scripts earlier

Re: Custom Toolbar Manager
Upgrade Nov 27 2022
New version 2 preview is available. The coding is complete. I call it a preview because there is very little documentation atm.
The new version uses various panels instead of toolbars and creates the toolbars almost like they are built in to trueSpace.
Nov 28 - bug fix - spamming the load buttons was creating multiple "x" panels

Re: Custom Toolbar Manager
Update Dec 4 2022
bunch of internal changes from trueBlue
fixed the x close button
restore function now preserves the toolbar shape and orientation
fixed not all data saved with the toolbar
if no toolbars backup file exists it will ask to create one
prototype list will be empty when the search result does not match anything in the list
slightly more compact list

Re: Custom Toolbar Manager
Any chance of a tutorial on usage of Toolbar Manager v2?
Following these instructions:
Load from Prototype
check Open as Unique so you create a duplicate toolbar instead of editing the existing toolbar
navigate up/down with the buttons on the right
click the button on the left to open the new duplicate toolbar
make desired changes to the toolbar
Save Prototype button to save to the toolbar library
By 'Save Prototype' i assume 'Save Toolbar' but it doesn't seem to work and i can get nothing saved to the Library.
TIA
