LyX ⇒ How to create a custom tool bar?

[Cosm]

How does one create a customized tool bar. Basically what I want is simply a toolbar with some frequently used mathsymbols.
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface#toc6 was not that helpful.
I gather I have to create copy the stdtoolbars.inc and default.ui file into my user directory, and modify them there?

If that is correct, what are the needed modifications? Looking inside the stdtoolbars.inc the syntax seems to be the following (for a toolbar that contains some symbols):

Toolbar "custom_toolbar" "Custom_toolbar"
Item "forall" "math-insert \forall"
Item "exists" "math-insert \exists"
End

So that would be a toolbar of two symbols. Should I also add the images for forall and exists in to my user directory?

What modification needs to be made in the default.ui file that I copy in my user directory. Maybe: add the following line "custom_toolbar" "on,bottom" to the end of the file (inside an already existing Toolbars...End block?

I just tried it and it seems to be working.

Hi Cosm and welcome to the board!

It sounds like you figured your problem out. Since you did not find the wiki page useful, could you please edit it and improve it if you have the time?

Thanks,
