It’s incredibly convoluted, and was more a proof of concept to see if roaoao wanted to take it further, but it basically works like this:
make a hidden panel group to hide everything in ‘TOOLS’
make panel groups for every section (I like this because there is a bunch of stuff from the addons I don’t use)
make a script that toggles off all of those panel groups
for each button make it run the script and then turn that panel group back on
I also took it a step further and made a separate script that stores which panel was active for both object and edit mode.
It takes a couple of hours to set up but in my opinion its far better than how blender does it, because the buttons will always be where you want them (they wont move and change if you install new addons) also you can add icons to them and obviously put them in a pie.
And its not too troublesome to just add a new entry to the script and make a new button once it is already set up.
Also… no more trying to read vertical text in a hurry
