The Customize command on the View menu lets you set the program's user interface so it works the way you want it to. For example, you can define which toolbar buttons are shown, add new buttons from any available functions, customize menus by re-arranging them, hiding or changing items, customize the keyboard shortcuts, and establish the overall look and feel of the toolbars and menus.

You can even drag the menu off of its location on the top of HyperSnap-DX's window and use it as a free-floating tool, or attach it to any side (or the bottom) of the program's window. To do this, left-click the little gray bars you see to the left of the first menu item (the File menu by default) and then while holding down the left button, drag the menu away from the edge of the application workspace. You've now got an instant floating menu palette, which you can position virtually anywhere you want.

Customizing toolbars...

If you right-click any toolbar button while the Customize tabs are open, you'll see a menu there that contains various functions. Some of these are not functional in the current release (such as changing a buttons appearance) but they will, with little doubt, appear in a future version. We've documented the non-functional features because they may be "slip-streamed" into a point release, and that way the documentation is actually ahead of the program (rather than is common, the other way around). If a feature here doesn't work (like the Button appearance editor) that's not a bug you need to report, it's a feature that's been "turned off" until we've got time to enable it in an upcoming version.

Lots o' buttons?

If you have a lot of buttons showing on the toolbar, and then check Large icons, you may find your buttons are larger than the available screen space can show. Either remove some buttons using the customization tool, or go back to the smaller size buttons. Alternately, if the single-row takes up too much space, you can pull the button bar "off" of HyperSnap-DX 5's user interface by grabbing the raised area at the left edge of the bar and dragging it "away" from the menu (either up, down, or away to either side totally off the HyperSnap-DX 5 window).

Then it will become a free-floating palette which you can size like a window, allowing you to double-up the rows. You can place it anywhere you like on your screen, it will still function as before even if it doesn't "touch" the HyperSnap-DX 5 window. To replace it, simply drag it back into the previous place. The "side" bar will move out of the way as may be required. (Both the top bar and the side bar support this positioning method, by the way.)
