Where do I find third party buttons?

I know Apple likes to go out of their way to avoid toolbar buttons, but in many (most) situations buttons are easier and faster than calling up the item with a COMMAND+ key stroke.
It's sort of ironic, since they give a few buttons by default as well as the option to add a few more. So, they've acknowledged that buttons are important to some/most users....so why not have more of them? For example, why not offer B I U which are used quite frequently? (yes, I know it's Command+B for bold, etc., I'm simply trying to illustrate a point)
I'm sure there are some who are very proficient at certain tasks such that it's second nature, but unless you use the task repeatedly, it's a real PITA.
In any event, are there any third party add-on tools that can put frequently used buttons on the application toolbars? Are they any good or do the break things?
I use Outlook at work during the day and send 20-30 (or more) e-mails daily. It's so much easier using the customizable toolbar buttons than hunting for the menu items (or remembering the keystrokes) in Mail.
I've used OS X for over 5 years, so I'm not a lost newbie...I know what and where the commands are.
I know it's a 'Mac' thing, to over simplify things, but IMHO, sometimes when you over simplify things, you make more work for people in the long run.
Thanks!

Sounds of custom email notifications in Mail you would like DockStar and MailActOn. These things should really spice up your email on your Mac.

    Where do I find the "agree" button to push on the iTunes Store terms of service?

    iPhoto converts nothing. When you import a Raw iPhoto generates a Jpeg preview that is used for sharing via media browswers. This is also what you get if you drag and drop. Your Raw is preserved, untouched.
    File -> Export and set the Kind to Original will get your Raws.

    Where do we find the WPS button?

    the WPS button (as the other poster said) is a feature of some routers...think of it as the "connect via connection wizard" button. It just means that you can connect without going through the hassle of typing in numbers and such.
    Realy, it's just as easy to connect manually on the Selphy.
    DON'T FORGET TO make sure your network is "HOME" style in windows that that you allow "file and printer sharing" so that your PC can see the printer!
    A call to the techs at Canon can get you connected fast, they helped me and were spot on and knowledgable (not something you can say about much of the tech support these days)

  • How do I find third party plug-ins? (illustrator CS6)

    I have trouble opening Illustrator.
    I tried to update my computer (to OS X Mavericks 10.9.5) but i didn't help and i couldn't update Illustrator because of an error.
    I saw on this side, that removing third party plug-ins, could work... The only problem is, i don't know which ones are third party and which are not.
    I found a list of third party plug-ins, on this side as well, but none of them was in any of the folders with Illustrator plug-in on my computer.
    Does anybody know how theese third party plug-ins, or another way to solve my problem?

    Okay thank you, I was just trying to avoid to reinstall. I bought my computer through my school and all the adobe programs was already installed, so and can find the "install-file" on my computer.
    But thank you, I think I will contact my school then

  • JAR executable do not find third party Jars

    Boy I am beat.
    I am trying to build executable jar that needs bunch of third party jars.
    So I import the jars into a ext folder at the top of the pkg. I jar it all up (using Ant)with a manifast that point the classpath to the jars at the ext folder

    Just posted on this in another thread I am watching. As far as I know, and every other post I have seen on this topic, there is no way to do this without using a custom classloader that is used by the executing .jar itself to load any .jar files. How I can see this work is the main class is nothing more than a "classloader" launcher. It creates a new instance of this custom classloader. It then opens "itself" (the .jar the main class and all the .jar's are in), reads the manifest file to locate the .jar files the application requires, then either loads them, or somehow is able to reference them without directly loading them. The URLClassLoader is a good one to extend for this. It already opens up any .jar file specified in its path when being created, scanning for any files in there. Basically, you need to "extend" this functionality to scan any .jar's in the .jar, and so on. So, the launcher may be like so:
    public void main (String[] args)
    JarClassLoader jcl = new JarClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
    jcl.launchApp(this);
    the jcl.launchApp would be a method that tells the classloader to use THIS class, its "root" dir, to locate the .jar file to open and scan for more jar files. Each time it comes across a .jar file in the .jar, it opens it and scans it as well.
    Keep in mind, when the URLClassLoader contains one or more .jar files, when a class it loaded references a class that is not found in the that classloaders parent loader classpath, it then starts looking in the .jar files in the URL[] path specified to it. It looks at all classes in the .jar files, but it does NOT look in nested .jar files in the .jar file. Basically, you could take the source code of the URLClassLoader, and add the ability to open up any .jar files nested in each .jar file as needed to resolve a class. I would imagine this could take some time at runtime, probably a second or two on slower machines for a single typecast. However, that would be dependent on the number of nested .jar files, the number of .jar's in the classpath of the classloader. I think I may undertake this task when I have time. I gotta finish my plugin engine first, then I may undertake this classloader. I am pretty sure that is the proper approach to take. However, because it is not part of the JVM .jar execution mechanism, a special bit of coding will be required, such as what I posted above. The main class in the .jar file will have to create this classloader and tell it to "execute" the program, passing to it another main class, specifying the location of the .jar file the main class is in, etc. Hell, you could almost bypass the java -jar app.jar and just do a java Classname where by the class and the .jar are bundled together, although this wouldn't be as nice. The reason this might be better is that then you wouldn't have to do any special coding in the .jar main class. I suppose though, by providing the "launcher" class and having a developer just extend it as part of their main class could also work.

  • Where can I find additional iDVD button art

    I've got iLIFE 11 installed on my MacBook (Lion), but I don't have any previous versions of iLife. There are very few button options to choose to customize my menus. Where can I find, and how do I import, additional buttons into iLife 11?

    Wow! Really, you just can't? How about all the button art from the previous versions? Can those be found somewhere and imported. The iDVD button art from the latest version (came on the iLife 11 disc) is really sparse! Can you "make" your own button art? Thanks for your help.

    Could you show an image of the tutorial or link to it so we can see more clearly what it's asking you to do?

  • Where can I find the "Group button" for layers? Element 8

    So Im trying to find the button to group a layer but I can't.
    Any idea where I can find it?

    That's being a bit pedantic, I think. In all previous versions of PSE the function was called grouping. Just because adobe decided to change its name doesn't mean the function isn't there anymore. I have to say I find this tendency of Adobe to cal something one thing and then call it something else and assign the original name to a different function HUGELY annoying, as do all the PS and PSE instructors I've ever met.

  • Where can i get Third party plugIns of Print Service

    JPS----Java Print Service API has provided the Service
    Provider Interface through which plugins can be created to provide ones own implementation of the PrintServiceLookup........i am unable to locate any such print service Api thru NET..if somebody can tell me where can i find such resources i shall be obliged...........

    I think that if someone has ever found an interesting way to print pdf files from java, especially if this uses the 1.4 JPS API, It would be nice to put it on this forum and not share it via e-mail with some happy-fews (just my 2 cents).
    I have been looking at this for a while and could not find any decent solution (spawning an Acrobat Reader with the /t option does not allow to control enough printer options like 2-sided, n-up, paper trays, ...).
    I think of a solution that would convert the pdf to a plain ps document and stream it with JPS to the printer. I am trying to integrate Ghostscript with my app using JNI to do so. Has anyone used this or another solution to get a PS file out of a pdf document within java?
    Did anybody find or write a java pdf renderer that could be used to implement the Pageable and Printable interfaces?
    Please let me (and us all) know...

    Hi!  Can you help me?  Though I see the list of music which the iTunesMatch uploaded to iCloud from my iTunes Library of my PC I can't find a download button on my iPhone.

    If Match is 'on' and your phone is online, then you should get the cloud icon to the right of the songs (that are only in the cloud) in the Music app - does that show next to any of the songs ? If it does then tapping on the cloud icon should download that song.
