The Desktop Toolbar

You can create new entries into all of the most common registers directly from the desktop, via the New button. There is also a shortcut key for opening lists, and furthermore, the toolbar gives you access to both the calendar functions and the settings window. Therefore, the toolbar offers you quick and easy access to the most commonly used functions at all times.

The desktop has a fixed toolbar. However, the various module windows within the program, have toolbars adjusted to match the functions available within that window.
