Request to mod authors who include support for Blizzy's Toolbar...

[Stone Blue]

I've been adding more and more plugin mods to my KSP install, lately, and am now up around 50-60 of them.

Being as how I only have a laptop (granted, its a 17", but still...), to play KSP on, I am pretty much limited to a sub-1400 screen resolution, and cant play full screen, display real estate is at a premium for me. So of course, I LOVE Blizzy's Toolbar, and how it seems more and more mod authors are including support for it...

Only thing is, there are a few mods i have installed, that, while allowing you to enable/disable a thumb in Blizzy's bar, there is NO option to toggle displaying it in the STOCK toolbar, while many others DO have this....

So essentially, not being able to remove it from the stock toolbar, kind of defeats the purpose of adding support for Blizzy's bar, as who wants TWO icons doing the same thing taking up valuable screen real estate?

So my request is to all you mod authors out there, past, present and future, who add support for Blizzy's Toolbar, if possible, please remember to add in an option in your "settings", to enable/disable your icon in the stock toolbar, as well...

Thanx for all the awesome mods, mod authors!

If need you can try my QuickHide mod which hides all mod buttons from the stock toolbar, I know this is not the best solution, but this is a quick solution

Nice!...Thanx Malah...

Thing is, is it 0.25 compatible?....I wont be updating to 0.90 for a while yet...

And I like the looks of some of your other "Quick(mods)"... I'll definately try them out once I go Oh-Nine-Oh...

Yeah...I'm just thinking if there is a way to tie in a toggle for the stock toolbar icon, to the button for enabling/disabling the Blizzy-bar, in a plugin's settings....I guess it would be an easy thing to forget to think of when adding in support for the Blizzy-bar...

I don't know if QuickHide v1.01 will work for KSP 0.25, but the version 1.00 work fine on it. If you look at the others quickmods: QuickScroll and QuickSearch can't work on KSP 0.25, the others had been released for that version (you just need to downgrade to an older version of the mod that you want).

I was kind of hoping that Blitzy Toolbar could add a feature to run as a drawer in the stock toolbar.

Pretty sure you can toggle toolbar to auto hide when placed at screen edge.

[Stone Blue]

^^ Yes...You can....I had almost two dozen buttons in my Blizzy-bar, and it got too big...So I finally split it all up, into two separate bars, only one row of icons each, put one on each side of the stock altimeter at the top edge of the screen, and auto-hid them...Its awesome...I love it!....

I'll be adding more buttons soon, so i think the next step will be doing folders in the bar. This is basically, I think, pretty much the same as what you are talking about with drawers on the stock bar:

There is one "folder" icon on the Blizzy-bar...You click it, and whatever icons you have in it, open up in a small, separate bar under the Blizzy-bar.

[Ruedii]

I just wish that folder function could be placed in the stock toolbar. Basically so you have a pull out toolbar menu from the stock toolbar, so the stock toolbar doesn't get too big.

^^ It does seem the stock icons are pretty big, also...Especially compared to the rest of the stock GUI....???
