or one of the ribbon panels assigned to the active ribbon tab. To control which
ribbon tabs and panels are assigned to the current workspace, see

You can display toolbars with the toolbar shortcut menu and the Tools menu
on the menu bar. You select the toolbar you want to display. On the Tools
menu, the Toolbars submenu contains all the toolbars in the loaded CUIx
files.
With the CUI Editor, you can create new toolbars, which can be assigned to
and displayed with a workspace. Along with creating new toolbars, you can
also modify existing toolbars to display the commands you frequently use.
For information about creating and modifying toolbars, see Create and Edit

on page 248.
Control the Display of Palettes
Palettes are displayed using the ribbon, the Tools menu on the menu bar, or
by entering a command. Once a palette is displayed, you can control many
of the visual aspects of a palette from the application window. You can specify
the position, size, transparency, and docking of a palette. For information
about controlling the display of a palette, see Specify the Behavior of Dockable
Windows in the User’s Guide.
