You can modify the appearance of tools in the following ways:
- increase or decrease the size of tool images
- modify the display and arrangement of tools. You can display tools with icons only; icons with text, or in single-column list view that includes icons and text.
The same tool palette with three different views
Several factors can influence the appearance that you select for tools, such as the need for additional drawing space, your familiarity with the tools, and the complexity of the tool images. For example, new users might choose to display tools with small images in a single-column list, which provides the aid of the tool name as well as the image. Alternatively, experienced users might choose to display tools with medium-sized images and without names in order to maximize drawing space.
