@ambrose_bill I think what you need to use is OptionsMigrate → Import data from previous install. For example, I quickly made this customized pupup by dragging some tools: [image] After migrating my Rhino 8 settings to Rhino 9 I get the same popup toolbar with the updated icons: [image]

Oh yes !! Nice. Worked perfectly. I like the new appearance as well. Thank you :slight_smile: [image]
