You still need more room?

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday we talked about saving space on each individual window within ScottradeELITE. Today, I want to save you room from the top menus. I have people tell me all the time that the menus at the top of the screen take up way too much room. Did you know there is a way to change that?

First you will want to click on the windows menu option at the top. Here you you will see an option for main toolbar view. You are given three choices: Standard, icon, hide.

The standard view is what you are used to seeing. There are two lines full of great tools with their name and icon. This is the full view if you will.

The Icon view shows just the icons for each specific tool. This toolbar will only take up one line and saves you screen real-estate.

The Hide view eliminates both lines of  tools. This saves you the most space. If you are worried you will not have access to your tools, fret not. You can find all your tools under System, Market Data and Trading options on top.

Again, this is just another way you can save room on your screen for ScottradeELITE. Continue to check back for more blogs about all kinds of topics. Send me a message if you have a specific topic that you would like to hear about from me.

Thanks for checking in,
Todd
