Look for these lines: Toolbars "standard" "on,top" "extra" "on,top" "table" "off,bottom" "math" "off,bottom" "minibuffer" "off,bottom" End You'll find a comment explaining which settings you can use." If you follow that instruction, you'll read in default.ui: # Which toolbars to use. # # The second parameter are the flags : # # on: the toolbar is visible # off: the toolbar is not visible # math: the toolbar is visible only when in math # table: the toolbar is visible only when in a table # top: the toolbar should be at the top of the window # bottom: the toolbar should be at the bottom of the window # left: the toolbar should be at the left of the window # right: the toolbar should be at the right of the window # Jürgen
