How to get rid of icons and use text again instead?

[Leo Staley]

I prefer the look of TWC, with words in the toolbars and for creating a New Tiddler, saving, etc, instead of icons, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to change it.

In the same vein, I'd like to add some toolbar stuff like at http://tw5toolbar.tiddlyspot.com/ but I'd rather have the buttons just be text buttons, not icons.

Help?

Thanks in advance.

The easy approach could be to simply replace the icon tiddlers with text. That way you'll replace them everywhere.

The more flexble approach is to find the view/edit templates where the buttons are used (transcluded) and replace the transclusion with the preferred text.

I'd like themes to be able to choose between text vs. icon labels for toolbar buttons. I've created a ticket:

I see that you added this back in august! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it. I still can't seem to figure out how to turn off icons and use text buttons for the existing theme. Help?

Thanks in advance!

Also,

2) Would it be possible to use SOME icons, but not all? For example, say I wanted to use the X icon for closing a tiddler, but text buttons for the rest.

3) While I'm on that, Is it possible to use icons as they are now, just make them smaller?

4) would I be able to have border around my text buttons (and or other styling) to indicate that they are buttons?

Thanks in advance!

Open the $:/ControlPanel (the gear icon in the sidebar)...

Select the "Settings" tab...

Scroll down to find "Toolbar Buttons"...

There are two checkboxes: "include icon" and "include text"

Set them as desired.

Fantastic! Thank you Eric!

And After an hour of fiddling,
2) Is it possible to use icons as they are now, just make them smaller (and other styling, like adding a border around buttons to set them apart?)
3) Would it be possible to use SOME icons, but not all? For example, say I wanted to use the X icon for closing a tiddler, but text buttons for the rest. (I suspect not, and just using text should be fine for me...)
