I have Killer Toolbar which has served me well for some time.
My version isn’t compatible with Xojo2018 , and I am looking for a replacement, since I cannot buy an upgrade (without paying full price for a bundle of other things I don’t want or need)
What are other people using for toolbars and are any of them DarkMode friendly?
I created an “IconButton” class that replaces “BevelButton” and use a series of those in lieu of a toolbar
It is Darkmode and Retina compatible, allows for 4 sizes of icons, that can be placed either Above, left, right or below a caption. or it can have only a caption or only an icon
Actually:
a/ I quite like it
b/ The Xojo toolbar isn’t good enough for me
c/ That’s far from respectful.
[quote=420317:@SubSonics …]OMG and with all respect, that looks awful and in no way how a macOS toolbar should look unless you want your app to look like a 20-year-old app. Don’t do that, even for Windows it would be shameful.
I would instead use the default Xojo toolbar and enable the darkmode support when compiling. That’ll do.[/quote]
That is your opinion and you are certainly entitled, but I STRONGLY recommend you take a look at your candor. It is not respectful, professional, and its honestly mean.
Perhaps you should read the Forum Etiquette post.

@Dave S. Is your bevel btn class available to the community?
It is… I am asking a $10.00 donation

I will email an unencrypted demo including the class to the email address on the Paypal receipt
The macOS toolbar.
With the built-in functions and some declares from my own Retina Kit, I am able to create a toolbar that suits my needs, however I don’t target Windows (yet) and so that may change.
Also for some applications, I use declares to bring the window contents up into the titlebar area and there use regular controls.
Personally, I am using Christian’s NSToolbarMBS https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/class-nstoolbarmbs.shtml for this
Thats not bad, but its not cross platform.
Which is my big issue. I cant see a way to do NSToolbar for mac and (say) Ribbon toolbar for Windows, using the same Window.
Please realize that what I offered was an “IconButton” a replacement for BevelButton, not a direct replacement for Toolbar, although it can be used to build such a substitute.
