Toolbar Paint : Create personalized toolbars that can be inserted in newly developed applications using thicker or thinner brushes and pens, import existing icons from the PC, and save the result to the drive
ToolBar Paint is a straightforward and intuitive piece of software designed to offer an easy and quick way to create unique toolbars for your programs or integrate them into existing utilities.
Can be run from any PC
As the utility comes with all the core items packed into a small archive it means it doesn't require any installation to work, can be dropped on external disks, and launched from any location.As a plus, it doesn't eat much space nor generates new files into the Windows registry. The layout is a bit outdated yet approachable, being composed of a color palette, the editor, toolbar manager, and the drawing tools.
Make your own color palettes and import stored designs
If you used similar apps before and you have an existing project (BMP) stored on the drive, it can be easily opened from the computer. There is also the choice of starting from scratch.You can store up to four rows of colors to have your preferred tints at one click away. In the preview area, the app shows the actual and 2x size design, while in the editor it's displayed in a pixel mode.
Use your imagination to create unique toolbar buttons
It's possible to enable the grid, view the details about the toolbar, and import sets of icons from the Button Manager option. Another neat function is the ability to copy and paste designs from another source, and automatically resize them to fit the window.From the painting panel, you have the option to draw using the brush and pen that come in several sizes, as well as insert lines and geometric forms (ellipse, rectangle) that may be transparent or solid color. The tool lets you flip the image vertically or horizontally, and invert the color combinations. The result is saved as a BMP picture.
A few last words
All in all, ToolBar Paint is a reliable and accessible program created to provide a simple method to design custom toolbars for applications using shapes, colors, and brushes. Plus, the import function eases your work as you can edit existing buttons from another project.
