PME Toolbar

Note

It stopped working after 4.3. I am in the process of fixing this. Your support through GitHub Sponsors helps me to work on this and other features.

PME allows you to use the User Preferences area as a toolbar when its width or height is minimal:

Naming

Toolbars display popup dialog’s layout depending on its name:

Toolbar <Screen Name> <Position>

Where Screen Name and Position are optional and Position takes one of these values: Left, Right, Top, Bottom.

Examples

Toolbar Top

Top toolbar, all screens

Toolbar UV Editing Right

Right toolbar, UV Editing screen

Toolbar 3D View Full

Any toolbar, 3D View Full screen

Saving

Toolbar widgets are stored in User Preferences. The position and size of the toolbars are stored in .blend files. So in order to save your toolbars, you need to use both File ‣ User Preferences ‣ Save User Settings and File ‣ Save Startup File commands.

By default Blender loads UI stored in .blend files. To keep the current UI (including toolbars) you need to uncheck Load UI option:
