Customizing the Toolbar

You can use the Floating Toolbar source code to create your own modified version of the io.Connect Floating Toolbar. Once you have implemented a toolbar, you must host it, create an application configuration file for it and add it to your application store. Make sure to set the "shell" top-level key to true:

{
    ...
    "shell": true,
    ...
}

Also, modify the system configuration of io.Connect Desktop from the system.json file - set the "useEmbeddedShell" property to false:

{
    ...
    "useEmbeddedShell": false,
    ...
}

Restart io.Connect Desktop for the changes to take effect.
