Popup toolbar behavior similar to Win (Rhino 8 WIP)

[Gijs (Gijs de Zwart)]

Hi @solarius

for other people that might come across this I am listing the steps to create popups with icons only in V7 on Mac:
1

Changing the popup menu between icons and text on Mac

you can run this macro from the middle mouse button: _ShowToolPalette _ToolPalette=Popup _Visible=_Toggle UnderCursor=Yes AsMenu=No Enter go Rhinoceros-> Preferences-> Mouse-> mouse… for Middle mouse button, click the button ‘run this macro’. then type or copy/paste the macro above into the text field… [image]

Changing the popup menu between icons and text on Mac

Go to Rhino Preferences -> Tool Palette -> Hiding tool palettes: Hide tool palettes when starting commands. However… the pop-up will reappear, which is very annoying. It wasn’t like this in V6, but they made some changes in V7… Philip

Changing the popup menu between icons and text on Mac

For anyone else that didn’t follow this discussion going on many different threads, the popup toolbar will stay hidden if you: Navigate to Preferences > Advanced and make sure that Rhino.Options.Advanced.LeaveFloatingPanelsHiddenOnMac is set to true (enabled/checked).

as for your wish to do this in V8, since that is a totally rewritten UI, I’ve added RH-73445 Mac: popup at Middlemouse icon-only like on Windows
