Bar Properties Dialog Box

This dialog box has two uses:

Creating a new navigation bar
(click New on the Button & NavBar Tool Infobar). For this, you create the design for a single button and use this dialog box to create the other buttons.

Editing an existing navigation bar (click Edit properties on the Button & NavBar Tool Infobar). This lets you change the number of buttons and so on in the navigation bar.

You can also use this dialog box to create a BackBar. (A graphic that appears behind the buttons.)
