The toolbar dock appears at the top of your screen after
checking Window : Dock (Ctrl+Alt+F11).
You
must choose File : Level :
Middle or Professional or Warrior for the Window item to be available on
the main menu. Uncheck Window : Dock to hide the toolbars window. The main function of this window
is docking the most important toolbars in SuperMemo. You may also want to call this window
up to get the typical feel of Windows applications in which the main menu and toolbars are
located at the top of the screen. The caption of the toolbar dock also helps you
quickly glance at which collection is currently in use (e.g. c:\sm2004\systems\all.kno
below)

The toolbars that dock on the toolbar window:
- Actions - toolbar with some other frequently used operations. Component
ClipBox on the Actions toolbar is used as the temporary
component cache that can be used in copying components). Script stop button disables
scripts (e.g. to stop a script than ran into an endless loop or to turn off
sounds in a computer without a sound board). Hints checkbox turns
on and off the hints displayed by buttons and menu options
- Time - toolbar with date,
time and timer. Caution! You should never manipulate the date in order to
control the learning process! Use Tools : Options : Learning : Midnight clock shift if you

day of the learning process
- Tools
(as in the picture above) - toolbar with speed-buttons that provide one-click access to the most frequently used operations in
