Thank you.

And now I will finally release the Toolbars plugin, also depicted in the preview screenshots.

It's just a quick access toolbar button to the Toolbars & Menus prefs dialog with an additional filter box for the available actions, but I hope we can keep it simple: plugin name will be just 'Toolbars'. (there will be no shortcut, since calibre already provides one for that prefs dialog.)

Hey Comfy.

Thanks for the plugin, simple and effective.

The custom icon feature isn't working, so i have added it to the ui.py attached if you would like to incorporate it into an update for the plugin.

This allows you to add custom icons to the resources folder like many other plugins, so that you can add an icon of your own to match your theme, but also have a separate icon for light and dark themes

Locations:

'/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/calibre/resources/images/Open Config Folder'

resources/images/Open Config Folder/

plugin-for-dark-theme.png

I have also changed the name to just "Open Config" as "Open Config Folder" is much wider than the icon when displayed on the toolbar and pushes other plugins to the sides and Open Config i think is descriptive enough.

p.s. for those using SF Theme, here's some options for you

Thanks, I'll have a look at some point. I remember I thought this plugin could do well with a single icon for both themes... It's been around long before this official release so I'm quite attached to its visual identity. Regarding the plugin name, I may do something like the L & D, then perhaps call it OCF. When I make this review to introduce the Short plugin name option, which I plan to do for other plugins, I'll update the code with your suggestion, to support a custom icon.

No worires,

Yes, this is the exact reason for the custom icons patch. You are attached to the current icon, and this should remain the stock icon the plugin ships with. but others, like myself, prefer an icon/s that fit the theme they have chosen and the stock icon looks out of place for them.

Regarding the name. 'Open Config' actually fits perfectly, size wise, with the stock icon and my own, so i dont think there is a need to introduce and acronym. Up to you, of course
