The Tools dialog is used mainly to control the appearance of the Toolbox. It allows you to customize the set of tools for which icons are shown in the Toolbox, and the order in which the icons are arranged. Probably the most common use for it is to make the Color tools available directly from the Toolbox. You can also use the Tools dialog to select a tool by clicking on its symbol, but for this purpose you might as well just use the Toolbox.

The Tools dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section on Dialogs and Docking for help on manipulating it. It can be activated in several ways:

  • From the Toolbox menu: File->Dialogs->Tools.

  • From an image menu: Dialogs->Tools.

  • From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog: Add Tab->Tools.
