Doing so is most efficient, especially if there is overflow. Use group dividers only if the commands across groups are weakly coupled. Doing so makes the groupings obvious and the commands easier to find. Avoid placing destructive commands next to frequently used commands. Use either order or grouping to get separation.
Also, consider not placing destructive commands in the toolbar, but only in the menu bar or context menus instead.
Use the overflow chevron to indicate that not all commands can be displayed. But use overflow only if there isn't sufficient room to display all the commands. The overflow chevron indicates that not all commands are displayed, but more of them could be with a better layout.
Make sure that the most frequently used commands are directly accessible from the toolbar that is, not in overflow in small window sizes. If necessary, reorder the commands, move less frequently used commands to menu buttons or split buttons, or even remove them completely from the toolbar.
If this remains a problem, reconsider your choice of toolbar style. Generally, toolbars work great together with menu bars because having both allows each to focus on their strengths without compromise. On hover, display the button affordance to indicate that the icon is clickable. After the tooltip timeout, display the tooltip or infotip.
For mode buttons, display the control to reflect the currently selected mode. If the mode affects the behavior of mouse interaction, also change the pointer. For property buttons and drop-down lists, display the control to reflect the state of the currently selected objects, if any. On interaction, update the control's state and apply the change to the selected objects. If nothing is selected, do nothing. Exception: On rare occasions, a toolbar command can be used more efficiently modally.
In such cases, use double-click to toggle the mode. In this example, double-clicking the Format painter command enters a mode where all subsequent clicks apply the format. Users can leave the mode by left single-clicking. Exception: Windows 7-style toolbars use icons only for commands whose icons are well known; otherwise they use text labels without icons.
Doing so improves the clarity of the labels, but requires more space. Make sure toolbar icons are clearly visible against the toolbar background color. Always evaluate toolbar icons in context and in high-contrast mode. Choose icon designs that clearly communicate their purpose, especially for the most frequently used commands. Well-designed toolbars need icons that are self-explanatory because users can't find commands efficiently using their tooltips.
However, toolbars still work well if icons for a few less frequently used commands aren't self-explanatory. Choose icons that are recognizable and distinguishable, especially for the most frequently used commands. Make sure the icons have distinctive shapes and colors. Doing so helps users find the commands quickly even if they don't remember the icon symbol. For more information and examples, see Icons.
If you are using menu buttons and split buttons in a toolbar, try to use the following standard menu structures and their relevant commands whenever possible. Unlike menu bars, toolbar commands don't take access keys. These commands mirror the commands found in standard menu bars, so they should be used only for primary toolbars. This list shows the button labels and type with their order and separators, shortcut keys, and ellipses.
Note that the command for displaying and hiding the menu bar is in the View menu. These commands supplement standard menu bars. Note that the command for displaying and hiding the menu bar is in the Tools menu. The supplemental toolbar category names differ from the standard menu category names because they need to be more encompassing.
For example, the Organize category is used instead of Edit because it contains commands that aren't related to editing. To maintain consistency between menu bars and toolbars, use the standard menu category names if doing so wouldn't be misleading. In this example, the toolbar should use Edit instead of Organize for consistency because it has the standard Edit menu commands. Palette windows use shorter title bars to minimize their screen space. Put a Close button on the title bar. Provide a context menu for window management commands.
Display this context menu when users right-click on the title bar. When possible and useful, make palette windows resizable. Indicate that the window is resizable, using resize pointers when over the window frame. When a palette window is redisplayed, display it using the same state as last accessed. When closing, save the window size and location. When redisplaying, restore the saved window size and location. Also, consider making these attributes persistent across program instances on a per user basis.
Provide customization for toolbars consisting of two or more rows. Only the unlabeled icons style needs customization. Simple toolbars with few commands don't need customization.
Provide a good default configuration. Users shouldn't have to customize their toolbars for common scenarios. Don't depend upon users customizing their way out of a bad initial configuration. Assume that most users won't customize their toolbars. For the Customize command, display an options dialog box that provides the ability to choose which toolbars are displayed and the commands on each toolbar.
Provide a Reset command to return to the original toolbar configuration in the Customize options dialog box. Provide the ability to customize the toolbars using drag-and-drop in the following ways:. While toolbar commands are used for immediate actions, sometimes more information is needed to perform the action.
Use an ellipsis to indicate that a command requires more information before it can take effect. Put the ellipsis at the end of the tooltip and label, if there is one. If a command cannot take effect immediately, however, no ellipsis is required.
So, for example, sharing settings doesn't have an ellipsis even though it needs additional information, because the command can't possibly take effect immediately. They should be obvious or, at least, provide clues to the users on what they do. A printer icon obviously means that it is a printing command. A diskette or floppy disk icon may be a shortcut to save a file because diskettes and floppy disks are used for saving and storing files.
Toolbars show the most frequently used or commonly used commands. Easily recognizable icons can be unlabeled, without an accompanying one-word text to explain what it does, while less obvious icons can be labeled. Toolbars can be designed to be full or partial toolbars. Full toolbars show all the icons of the application or page, while a partial toolbar only shows the most frequently-used while hiding the rest.
This is to prevent too much clutter on the window page and make the design appear streamlined and neat. There are five types of toolbars. The first one is the primary toolbar, which works independently without a menu bar. The menu bar in a primary toolbar is either hidden or inactive. All the menu options that you would ever need in Microsoft Word are available on the Menu Bar. Just check each of the menu option and get familiar with the various sub menus. A menu of user options for configuring software and hardware.
This is the most common reason for it to disappear. On a Mac, bring your mouse up to the top-left corner of the screen and hold it there for a moment. When the menu bar appears along with a green circle and a red circle, click the green circle. Google Toolbar is only available for Internet Explorer.
Once you restarted the Chrome browser, you can see the chrome address bar moved to the bottom of the browser from top position. Right click somewhere on the taskbar and go to properties.
It should have tick boxes for auto hide and lock the task bar.
