Adding 'Last Command' icons to the Bottom Border-Bar...

Adding 'Last Command' icons to the Bottom Border-Bar...

(OP)
At the recent PLM Connections in Dallas I showed-off an additional capability that I had added to my NX UI where up to the last 10 commands executed in the current application were visible and selectable in the Bottom Border-Bar of the NX 9.0 or NX 10.0 ribbon interface. Many people asked me if I could supply them with the files necessary and the instructions to set them up. I've already responded to all those who have emailed me but I thought that I would provide the same material here as well.

Just in case you're not sure what I'm talking about, please see the image below where I've highlighted the Bottom Border-Bar:



As for setting this up for yourselves, you'll find attached a zip file containing both the customization files needed and a ‘readme’ with instructions on how to set-up your system as mine was during the demo giving you access to the recent last commands.

If you have any problems please let me know.

John,

600 users like it, 1 doesn't !

How would that one user remove it ? Using the right-click option on the border bar ?

That would certainly be the easiest, if he has no plans of his own for the Bottom Board-Bar.

I like this added feature. Well done! I would like to find more ways like this to customize the interface.
