To quickly set up the toolbar to look like the preview screenshot, find the section headed [RightIcons] in Aston.rc (in Aston's root folder - probably C:\Aston) and replace it with the text below. (Holding down Shift, right-click on Aston.rc and choose 'Open With...' and open it using Notepad or a similar text editor.)

You need to copy the toolbar icons from the zip file into C:\Aston, or find and replace (Ctrl+H if you're viewing this in Notepad) 'C:\Aston' with wherever you put the folder containing the icons.

NOTE: This will erase your own toolbar setup, so you may want to make a backup first. Most of the buttons are in fact 'dummies' - clicking on them will do nothing until you've set up the toolbar to include paths to your programs. Some, for example the 'Shutdown' icon, are not dummies. Inevitably, you will have some programs for which I haven't included an icon. Sorry.

In addition, you'll need to change the toolbar settings in Aston Master: Disable the left toolbar, enable the right toolbar, and uncheck 'AutoHide Panel' and 'Panel on top of all windows' in the Right Toolbar settings. The value for 'Place on the screen' should be 0.

One final thing - if you don't use the taskbar clock, then the 'End' icon will look odd, so change the icons to the alternatives supplied (in the 'Toolbar icons' folder').


If all that sounds unnecessarily complicated, then you needn't bother messing around with the toolbar. The theme won't be offended :) However, I would recommend that you use the right toolbar instead of the left one, otherwise you'll be left with a thick black gap at the edge the screen.
