ooh thats pretty swish although i dont know if its worth and upgrade :p

what the hell? we seemed to have jumped back from maya 4 to 3! this is what the shelves are like in version previous to 4, and for most ppl, it takes up more space than they wud like :( i hope this can be switched back to the maya 4 shelf display :(

yes you can hide shelves, and have them display as you please :)

they dont take up any more room then in maya 4.0... just more buttons to press :)

no i meant like, in 4 u have ur shelf selection in the shelf button to the left of all the tools, is that still there? cos when i was working in 2.5, the layout above killed me! grr

so these shelfs are are premade !! what will happen if you upgrade your maya from 4.0 to 4.5 with your existing shelfs ?

those shelves are lookin' sweet.. but i recon i'll be makin' myself some custom ones.. :p
protheus: i recon they'll also appear.. but just to make sure you might want to back 'em up..

i have a question, totally unrelated, sorry, but how do you make your own menus?

It will kepp the settings you already have...so the new ones wont appear unless you reset it all after

so ..basically, you wont lose your custom shelves

I hope not.... welll most of the items in my shelfs i put them also in marking menus so to be honest they all can be deleted, but just want to know.

I find the marking menus's a littbit easier then the shelfs

I like how they are displayed and the icons help explain what they r.

yeah... but still it looks a tilltle bit crowded !

Lol .. just gotta win right? :beer:

yeah......:)......
