Transfering custom Rhino 8 appearance settings

[Tomasz_Paleski]

Hi all, I’m looking for a way of transfering window appearance settings to the customer’s machine. I searched through existing topics as well as Transferring Personalized Settings [McNeel Wiki] and Using Schemes to Start Rhino [McNeel Wiki] made by @Helvetosaur but it seems that approach for Rhino 8 isn’t published yet.
What I want to achieve is a window with no title, menu, status and selection bars, no toolbars other than ones that come from my plugin. There should be an option for showing/hiding bars with specific keyboard shortcuts.

My current workflow was: 1.export .ini with _OptionsExport, 2. edit it, to not have bars, 3. import it to rhino using _OptionsImport, 4. close all not needed toolbars 5. close rhino 6. store whole settings folder from AppData to replace the one on customer’s machine.
And my questions are:

1. Is there any easier way for that? While I’m able to import .ini file easily, it doesn’t affect toolbars and there is no command form for importing window layout from a file.
2. How can I control the size of certain toolbars while the rhino is starting? To i.e. always launch the command line with a certain width.
3. Is it possible to add a trigger for showing/hiding all not needed bars with a shortcut?

Thanks,
TP

In principle - if I understood correctly - you would just need to supply the window layout (.rhw) the way you have it set up plus the .rui that contains your toolbar(s). In loading those, again in principle you should have what you want for 1 and 2.

For 3, you can have several named window layouts and switch between them.

That is in principle, but as much of this is broken currently, I’m pretty sure it won’t work 100%.

1. Can I load .rui and .rhw files automatically as Rhino starts? I want to set a specific layout as soon as a customer launches Rhino for the first time.
2. In terms of title/menu/status bars I meant this areas:
   
   
   
   I managed to turn them off via editing .ini file and importing it back. Is there another way of achieving it?
