What version are you running? We removed the ability to delete items off the tool bar (or so I thought!).

If it's Beta 5, please let us know how you did it :). I can also walk you through how to restore it.

If it's an earlier version, please run the updater for the newest version - it will restore during installation (I can resend you a download email if necessary).

Thank you!!

Pretty sure it is beta 5 version 0.8.5

With the select arrow i dragged them off the toolbar. There is an x in the top right corner that when I clicked removed it from my screen and I was unable to find a way to bring several of the options off the toolbar back.

Any help is appreciated.

You are correct. We missed the menu option to show them again. We will add that with the next release. Thank you!!

To restore your current space, do the following:

1) Go to "Window" --> "Reset Workspace" and select yes when prompted.

2) DO NOT close Other World Mapper. Instead, use "ctrl+alt+del" to bring up task manager and terminate the "OWM.exe" process.
This will clear the workspace and keep OWM from saving again the incorrect workspace.

Please let us know if that restores it.

Thank you for your feedback!!

Excellent!

We'll make sure the next release has an option to show/hide the toolbars and that the reset workspace also includes them.

Thank you!
