Tweaking the Evolution Menu Bar
If you are like me, you have a ton of different email addresses, some for work, some for play, etc…
Most times, you don’t want to take a chance to mixing these, and sending your personal signature on a business email, so if you do what I do, you sent up a couple different email clients.
For example, I use evolution for my personal email and Thunderbird for my business email. The first icon on the Thunderbird toolbar is “Send/Receive”. So, what can’t I move the Evolution icons around and put “Send/Receive” first?
First things first, make a backup copy of the file :
glaw@glaw-laptop:~$ sudo cp /usr/share/evolution/2.26/ui/evolution.xml /usr/share/evolution/2.26/ui/evolution.xml.orig
Now, we need to make some changes
glaw@glaw-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /usr/share/evolution/2.26/ui/evolution.xm
Search (ctrl-f) for the following block of code :
<dockitem name=”Toolbar” relief=”none” behavior=”exclusive” config=”0″ _tip=”Main toolbar” look=”system”>
<control name=”NewComboButton”/>
<separator f=”” name=”eshell4″/>
<toolitem name=”SendReceive” verb=”SendReceive” _label=”Send / Receive” priority=”1″ pixtype=”pixbuf”/>
You need to rearrange this a little, making it look like :
<dockitem name=”Toolbar” relief=”none” behavior=”exclusive” config=”0″ _tip=”Main toolbar” look=”system”>
<toolitem name=”SendReceive” verb=”SendReceive” _label=”Send / Receive” priority=”1″ pixtype=”pixbuf”/>
<separator f=”” name=”eshell4″/>
<control name=”NewComboButton”/>
Save the file, close and restart Evolution.
