Customize Toolbars/es

Synopsis
This tutorial shows you the customization of toolbars. Tools (inclusive Macro-tools) can be used in different workbenches. In an example a Macro becomes a Macro-tool by creation of a Menu text, a Tool tip and an Icon. Afterwards this Macro-tool becomes part of an extra toolbar in a workbench.
