This is post number 2 in the series Nice to know about Powershell Studio 2015
When I use an editor lots and lots of hours I like to have it my own way.
In Powershell Studio you can change it like you want.
Default Powershell Studio 2015 will look like this:
Skins
But if you like more colors you can easily change it by changing to another skin.
The skins can be found in the upper right corner.
My favorite is the Office 2010 Blue skin.
I know a lot of Visual Studio people that will love the Visual Studio 2013 Dark skin.
If you like lots of open spaces when you working with your code you can customize panels to auto hide and minimize the ribbon.
Auto hide panels
As default you will have all panels like Toolbox, Object Browser, Properties etc visible all the time.
This will take space on the screen.
You can easily close them or auto hide them.
If you close them you need to go to Home and Panels and choose the panel when you want to see and use them again.
The nice thing with this is more space for the code or the form.
And the downside is that you don’t have your panel there when you just want to drag and drop something from the toolbox panel.
The auto hide way works better for me.
It will take some more space, but the panel you are working with will be there when you move the mouse to the left.
Minimize the ribbon
It’s possible to hide the ribbon
And when you click on some of the menu items the ribbon will show up and when you are not using it it will auto hide.
This was just a few of all the things that you can customize to get the editor to be as you want it.
More tips will come in my next post.
