Main Application Toolbar - New Simplified Option!
Boulevard 2025 introduces two toolbar options: Simplified, the new default (accessed from under the Window menu), and Traditional (the default toolbar in previous versions). Both offer a hover feature that displays helpful tips for each button, enhancing your user experience. The main toolbar can be temporarily minimized or hidden by default with either option selected.
Option 1: Simplified Toolbar (Default)
The Simplified main toolbar provides quick access to Boulevard's most popular features and includes the Compress option (in the Main Toolbar fly-out, under the Window menu) to allow for more vertical space on smaller screens.
