Customize Toolbars
You can customize
the WinPICS toolbars to better suit your needs.
By default, toolbars display at the top of the window. However, you
can click and drag them to any location. Toolbars display icons that are
unique to the Application toolbar,

windows. WinPICS includes many
default built-in toolbars that you can show and hide as needed.

drop-down a list of menu items. In essence, the Application
toolbar is actually a mix between a typical toolbar and a menu bar.
