The whole collection of Menubar, Toolbar, Pop-up menu and Shortcut definitions is called Configuration .

The Customization describes how to personalize - add, remove and modify elements - the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of MarvinSketch.

At the first launch of MarvinSketch a dialog asks the user to select the desired skin for the GUI configuration:

By default six predefined configurations are available:

• Marvin

• Marvin v5.0

• Marvin v1.0-5.0

• ChemDraw-like^*

• ISIS/Draw-like^*

• View Mode.

Each one has its own menubars, toolbars, etc.
A configuration can inherit the definitions from others. For example the Marvin v5.0 configuration inherits the default menubar, pop-up menu and shortcuts definitions from the Marvin v1.0-v5.0, only the toolbars are redefined.

The default configuration is called Marvin Configuration, and it has the (active) suffix. This selection can be changed any time from the View menu.

The configuration-related commands can be found in the View > Editor Style (or View > Configurations) menu.

Configurations can be modified, exported and imported, or reset to the default settings from the Configuration Settings submenu.

As soon as any changes are made, the configuration becomes modified, but a new configuration is not created yet, the modifications are only stored.

If the Configuration Settings are Reset, the modifications will be lost, and it is not possible to restore them. To prevent this, a new configuration can be made which stores the personalized GUI settings.

The available functions are described in the following table:
