Customizing the Illustrator toolbox

- [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you how to customize…Illustrator's vertical toolbox so it contains…just those tools that you use on a regular basis…which can cut down on the time you spend trying…to identify some of these weirder looking tools down here.…So the first step is to go up to the Window menu,…make sure you're looking at the top of it,…find the Tools command, and then choose this command…right here, New Tools Panel, which if you loaded dekeKeys…have given a shortcut of Control + Shift + Forward Slash.…

That's Command + Shift + Slash on the Mac.…At which point, Illustrator will prompt you…to name the panel.…I'll call mine Core Tools, let's say, and then click OK.…And now notice that you have the standard fill…and stroke colors that are found…at the bottom of the toolbox.…Right now they're cut off because I don't have room…for the single column toolbox, but there they are.…We also have the switch icon and we have the little…default fill and stroke icons.…You can't add any of this stuff down here…
