  <title>Customizing tool bar and menu items</title>

<note style="warning">
<p>These steps are for tech savvy users. These steps are not suitable for average users.</p>
</note>

<p><app>Evolution</app> offers no graphical interface to customize its tool bars or items in menus.</p>

<p>Advanced users can experiment by exploring and editing the corresponding system-wide file(s) under <file>$PREFIX/share/evolution/ui/</file>.</p>

<p>Copy those files with the file ending <file>.ui</file> which you would like to modify to your personal configuration folder <file>$HOME/.config/evolution/ui/</file>.
Modify the files in your personal configuration folder so the next <app>Evolution</app> software update will not overwrite your changes.</p>

<p>The modified files will be used if the <code>evolution-ui-version</code> attribute of the root <code>ui</code> element matches the version of the default files provided by <app>Evolution</app>.</p>

<p>To change keyboard shortcuts, edit <file>~/.config/evolution/accels</file> while <app>Evolution</app> is not running. Commented lines start with a <code>;</code> character and will be ignored. Not all shortcuts can be changed though.</p>
