I'm sorry to be dumb enough to ask this question but...

When I use Sigil (and I'm currently updated to 1.60), I don't like the toolbars all scrunched up with only 1 or 2 icons of a group shown. So... I go through and move them around the way I want so I can see all the icons and then I hide the unneeded parts. I then do my work and then close Sigil.

But when I reopen Sigil, the toolbars are back to the inefficient scrunched up way they were to start.

I've used other programs before that allow you to modify the toolbar, and they all remember my changes. Why doesn't Sigil? Or is there some special incantation or ritual I'm supposed to do when I've modified it the way I want so that it'll remember?

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, is it fixable? It occurs to me (and I hate it if it's true) but do the programmers expect us to always use Sigil in a full screen format? I'm willing to bet a lot of people don't do that.

Thanks for reading (and hopefully helping!)

P.S. I use Windows 10 Pro w/64GB RAM
