How To Show All Tools In Inkscape

This video is for those of you who may be using Inkscape with a lower resolution screen.You may notice that the toolbar on the lower left-hand side of your menu is being cut off, and because of that you can't access all of your tools. To fix this problem, all you have to do is pull the menu out by clicking and dragging it and the tools are then placed into multiple vertical columns, allowing you to access them.
If you're not able to pull your menu out like this then be sure to upgrade to the latest version of Inkscape here: inkscape.org/release/
Additionally, you may notice that some of your system tools are missing from the toolbar at the top of your screen. This is because of a layout change in the latest version of Inkscape that now places those tools on the right-hand side of your screen by default.
To revert back to the classic mode, all you have to do is disable Wide Screen mode by going to View and deselecting Wide Screen, and then your system tools should accessible.

I have a 21:9 36 inch and I hate the default widescreen. Layouts should be left alone by inkscape. With the caveat.. there should be an option, but don't make it the default.

That wide screen mode is a windows thing, fairly certain it's not the default on linux or macos (and I have no idea why this is the case)

lol i now feel so stupid. I thought it needed some back end technical fix but all you literally need to do is expand it with the cursor lol. ffs. Stay with us, Nick. We would be in an Inkscape grave without you.

Now, how can I "lock" the side toolbar? 😅 I've been working with guidelines and it is kind of annoying to expand the toolbar instead of create a guideline from the side

Great job. I have the opposite problem with my new 4k screen - the tools and buttons are all there, but they are really tiny. I found settings to enlarge the standard menu, but other buttons, e.g. the align and distribute menu, is still super small. Is there a way to fix that? Thank you. Your videos are amazing.

@Someone-lw6re Жыл бұрын

Go to preferences. There is an option - Interface. Expand it, select Toolbars. There you will find options - Toolbar icon size and Control bar icon size.

It is an whatsapp issue. You can try the workaround of sending the picture to yourself through Telegram and then fowarding it to WhatsApp, it works, but it would be better if Meta fixed it oncr and for all.
