Customize Toolbar - Remove New To-Do

Support
1

Can someone please tell me how to customize the toolbar? For instance, I would like to remove the New To-Do icon because I never use it and it interferes with my productivity when using the app. Can’t figure out how to do it. Searched forum and searched web.

You could try putting this in your userchrome.css file.

a.button[title="New to-do"] {
    display: none !important;
}

Just looked it up for your post so I haven’t checked that using this does not impact elsewhere in the app.

Totally worked. Thank you.

For those who are looking for the location of the userchrome.css file in macOS it is here:
username/.config/joplin-desktop/userchrome.css

Edit of the userchrome.css file in macOS is found via Preferences > Appearance > Show Advanced Settings > Edit "Custom stylesheet for Joplin-wide app styles"

Make sure to make a backup copy of userchrome.css and save somewhere else in case of a problem.

Thanks again dpoulton!

I could not get it to work with that CSS, but this CSS worked for me (in case anyone else is having this issue):

div[height="50"] > div:nth-child(2) button[title="New to-do"] {
    display: none !important;
  }

Thanks! That worked for me, too on version 1.8.1.

A while back I modified that css on my system to:

 button[title="New to-do"] {
     display: none;
}

I cannot remember why I changed it, possibly because it stopped working :slight_smile:

It appears to work on 1.7.11 and 1.8.1

If your language is not set to English you can use this elegant selector. :sweat_smile:

.rli-noteList > div:first-child > div > div:first-child > div:last-child > button:first-child {
 outline: 4px solid red;
}

or

div[height="50"] > div:last-child button:first-child {
  outline: 4px solid red;
}

Or, as the button title appears to be taken from the translation file, just replace "New-to-do" with whatever the equivalent is in the required language.

So if the selected language is German you would use

 button[title="Neue Aufgabe"] {
     display: none;
}

And if you needed to occasionally swap between English and German you could put

 button[title="Neue Aufgabe"], button[title="New to-do"] {
     display: none;
}
