Hello Oakes,

I made my own tools palette for in the Rev IDE. It contains many small script that I use every day. Since it is for my own use, I didn't add any fancy graphics. Just a few buttons with cryptic names.

If you are a true newbie, I'd just start learning the scripting language before trying to make a tools palette. It is nice if you can build an interface with buttons and graphics, but it is useless if you haven't learnt how to bring it alive, yet.

Now, if I haven't convinced you yet... Sure, you can use any graphics programme to create icons for your tools palette. Anything from ColorIt! to PhotoShop will do.

First set up your tools palette with the buttons and scripts you need. Then design at least two icons for each tool. Save the icons and import them all into the mainstack of your project. Now you can set the icon of each button. Set the hiliteIcon of each button to a slightly darker version of the icon.

If you want you can also set the style of a tool to checkbox and use a different icon for the armed state (set the showName to false). That gives a useful effect.

That's it.

Hello, I'm new to rev. Could someone let me know how to create my own tools palette with my own custom tools? I imagine I'd need some graphics program to draw the objects and such.

Thanks,
