CHANGING COLORS TAKES TO LONG-LEFT AND RIGHT TOOLBARS
CHANGING COLORS TAKES TO LONG-LEFT AND RIGHT TOOLBARS
(OP)
I've recently upgraded to 2010 sp 2.1 and have noticed how long it takes to change the color of anything. I click the color change button, and the regular color change menu comes up on the left, and the newer menu with decals, textures and fru fru comes up on the right. Both are eating up my time. Is there a way to get rid of the fru fru?

* (percentages not to scale)
Tools > Customize
On the Options menu there are settings for the Context menus
Show on selection controls the context bar from regular select
Show on Shortcut controls display when using Right Button or MB3
Fru-Fru Disabled
Maybe they should have an enable Fru-Fru option.
In 2009 SolidWorks the colors menu would no longer show colors after applying them making the pushpin useless.
If you are talking about the Task Pane on the right then hide it when changing colors.

Recently I have been taking our assemblies and use the appearances to give it a more real look and rendering the assemblies for customer to see their machine product and what it might look like in a real environment.
If you don't need or use them, what is it hurting for the tab to be there?
You can't shut it off or remove it, but I don't see the harm in having it there... you just don't need to click on it.
