Vote for having the option of which Toolbar you use
For an investment that a user makes, as many of us have in our purchase(s) of Logos Bible Software and the resources to use within it - all many of us ask, is for powerful and efficient productivity in our Study and Devotional use of our investment.
Many have found the new Dynamic Toolbar useful, maybe even an improvement for their personal use - BUT many of us have found the Dynamic Toolbar to be much less efficient and while the suggestion has been made that keyboard shortcuts will be added - they have really never been well received in general by the masses of computer users.
We have seen Mark Barnes show the toolbars as an option in a posted video and ask for the same - after all, Logos has implied that they want the most users to have the best experience possible with the software. If you have so many longing for the Classic Toolbar - why refuse the option?
Many of us understand that Logos has a goal of making it "easy" for the new user or those who have avoided the platform due to its history of "complexity" - but that should not be a punishment to long time and or power users that found the platform to function efficiently - telling them to relearn locations of tools that take up to four times the clicks as of now or relearn your use by learning all these keyboard shortcuts....(Which by the way, some may be physically limited or challenged, due to dexterity issues)
So, I created a Feedbear suggestion - I hope that even those of you that love the Dynamic Toolbar will vote on behalf of those of us who would like to keep our Classic Toolbar - after all many of us would vote for you if the "shoe was on the other foot".... Thanks

I'm voting for it because as a teacher, I have some students who have the old toolbar and some with the new and I would like to be able to demonstrate the tools to both of them.
My only hesitation is if developing this option would take away developer time from simply letting us customize the home tab. I think letting users do that would solve most of the legitimate complaints (make it a global setting that can be overriden by resource, like content scaling).
Although, the keyboard shortcuts are actually quite intuitive. Ctrl+shift+first letter of tool - m for multiview, r for reverse interlinear, etc.

True Ctrl+Shft+r brings up Interlinear and Reverse-Interlinear (which I don't want many times as I normally use just the Interlinear).... but then you have click click click to go through the menu to go back to English words in the bible. I am hoping, hoping, hoping that Logos will get this fixed soon (I know it's been said they are working on it). I don't know how many times I click click click to get to Interlinear and then click click click to get out of it..... just yesterday! Ug!

If I don't get my Interlinear icon back, I just might throw a royal fit. I have no idea what a royal fit is, but it must be interesting. Then again, maybe royal fit isn't very Christ-like. So, I may forgo the royal fit, but I would like an icon for the interlinear.
