# Toolbars and Menus

Mate allows for the user to configure many settings of their desktop. Anything from the background image to where buttons are located can be set. The Behavior window is responsible for a lot of the finer settings.

If you open up the Behavior window, you'll find a few options at your disposal to make your Mate experience better.

## Toolbar Options

The top half of the window shows you toolbar options.

In the Toolbars have section, you'll see three options available: Icons and Text, Only Icons, Only Text.

The Icons and Text makes the toolbars display both icons and text. While this takes up the most space, it is the most informative.

The Only Icons option makes the toolbars show only icons. This isn't the most descriptive, but helps save space.

The Only Text options is the most simple options. However, it is easily the most descriptive option.

Below that option is a button called Toolbars can be detached and moved around. This allows you to take a toolbar off the window and place it anywhere in the screen you wish. You can demo this in the Sample Toolbar below. On the left side is a textured bar. Click that and drag around the screen. That toolbar will detach and be dropped where you let go of the cursor.

Menus can also be configured. You can have menu items have icons. This is nice to help identify what things do.
