@cindex Scroll Bar mode
@cindex mode, Scroll Bar
On graphical displays, Emacs normally makes a @dfn{scroll bar} at
the left of each Emacs window, running the height of the
window.@footnote{Placing it at the left is usually more useful with
overlapping frames with text starting at the left margin.}
On graphical displays, there is a @dfn{scroll bar} on the side of
each Emacs window. Clicking @kbd{Mouse-1} on the scroll bar's up and
down buttons scrolls the window by one line at a time. Clicking
@kbd{Mouse-1} above or below the scroll bar's inner box scrolls the
window by nearly the entire height of the window, like @kbd{M-v} and
@kbd{C-v} respectively (@pxref{Moving Point}). Dragging the inner box
scrolls continuously.
When Emacs is compiled with GTK+ support on the X Window System, or
in operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS, you can use
the scroll bar as you do in other graphical applications. If you
click @kbd{Mouse-1} on the scroll bar's up and down buttons, that
scrolls the window by one line at a time. Clicking @kbd{Mouse-1}
above or below the scroll bar's inner box scrolls the window by nearly
the entire height of the window, like @kbd{M-v} and @kbd{C-v}
respectively (@pxref{Moving Point}). Dragging the inner box with
@kbd{Mouse-1} scrolls the window continuously.
If Emacs is compiled without GTK+ support on the X Window System,
the scroll bar behaves differently. The scroll bar's inner box is
drawn to represent the portion of the buffer currently displayed, with
the entire height of the scroll bar representing the entire length of
the buffer. @kbd{Mouse-1} anywhere on the scroll bar scrolls forward
like @kbd{C-v}, and @kbd{Mouse-3} scrolls backward like @kbd{M-v}.
Clicking @kbd{Mouse-2} in the scroll bar lets you move or drag the
inner box up and down.
You can also click @kbd{C-Mouse-2} in the scroll bar to split a
window vertically. The split occurs on the line where you click.
If Emacs is compiled on the X Window System without X toolkit
support, the scroll bar behaves differently. Clicking @kbd{Mouse-1}
anywhere on the scroll bar scrolls forward like @kbd{C-v}, while
@kbd{Mouse-3} scrolls backward like @kbd{M-v}. Clicking @kbd{Mouse-2}
in the scroll bar lets you drag the inner box up and down.
@findex scroll-bar-mode
@vindex scroll-bar-mode
You can toggle the use of the scroll bar with the command @kbd{M-x
scroll-bar-mode}. With a prefix argument, this command turns use of
scroll bars on if and only if the argument is positive. This command
applies to all frames, including frames yet to be created. Customize
the variable @code{scroll-bar-mode} to control the use of scroll bars
at startup. You can use it to specify that they are placed at the
right of windows if you prefer that. You have to set this variable
through the @samp{Customize} interface (@pxref{Easy Customization}),
or it will not work properly. You can also use the X resource
@samp{verticalScrollBars} to control the initial setting of Scroll Bar
mode. @xref{Resources}.

To enable or disable scroll bars for just the selected frame, use the
To toggle the use of scroll bars, type @kbd{M-x scroll-bar-mode}.
This command applies to all frames, including frames yet to be
created. To toggle scroll bars for just the selected frame, use the
command @kbd{M-x toggle-scroll-bar}.
@vindex scroll-bar-mode
To control the use of scroll bars at startup, customize the variable
@code{scroll-bar-mode}. Its value should be either @code{right} (put
scroll bars on the right side of windows), @code{left} (put them on
the left), or @code{nil} (disable scroll bars). By default, Emacs
puts scroll bars on the right if it was compiled with GTK+ support on
the X Window System, and on MS-Windows or Mac OS; Emacs puts scroll
bars on the left if compiled on the X Window system without GTK+
support (following the old convention for X applications).
@vindex scroll-bar-width
@cindex width of the scroll bar
You can control the scroll bar width by changing the value of the
@code{scroll-bar-width} frame parameter.
You can also use the X resource @samp{verticalScrollBars} to enable
or disable the scroll bars (@pxref{Resources}). To control the scroll
bar width, change the @code{scroll-bar-width} frame parameter

@cindex mode, Tool Bar
@cindex icons, toolbar
The @dfn{tool bar} is a line (or lines) of icons at the top of the
Emacs window, just below the menu bar. You can click on these icons
with the mouse to do various jobs.
On graphical displays, Emacs puts a @dfn{tool bar} at the top of
each frame, just below the menu bar. This is a row of icons which you
can click on with the mouse to invoke various commands.
The global tool bar contains general commands. Some major modes
define their own tool bars to replace it. A few ``special'' modes
that are not designed for ordinary editing remove some items from the
global tool bar.
Tool bars work only on a graphical display. The tool bar uses colored
XPM icons if Emacs was built with XPM support. Otherwise, the tool
bar uses monochrome icons (PBM or XBM format).
The global (default) tool bar contains general commands. Some major
modes define their own tool bars; whenever a buffer with such a major
mode is current, the mode's tool bar replaces the global tool bar.
@findex tool-bar-mode
@vindex tool-bar-mode
You can turn display of tool bars on or off with @kbd{M-x
tool-bar-mode} or by customizing the option @code{tool-bar-mode}.
To toggle the use of tool bars, type @kbd{M-x tool-bar-mode}. This
command applies to all frames, including frames yet to be created. To
control the use of tool bars at startup, customize the variable
@code{tool-bar-mode}.
@vindex tool-bar-style
@cindex Tool Bar style
When Emacs is compiled with GTK+ support, tool bars can have text and images.
Customize @code{tool-bar-style} to select style. The default style is
the same as for the desktop in the Gnome case. If no default is found,
the tool bar uses just images.
When Emacs is compiled with GTK+ support, each tool bar item can
consist of an image, or a text label, or both. By default, Emacs
follows the Gnome desktop's tool bar style setting; if none is
defined, it displays tool bar items as just images. To impose a
specific tool bar style, customize the variable @code{tool-bar-style}.
@cindex Tool Bar position
You can also control the placement of the tool bar for the GTK+ tool bar
with the frame parameter @code{tool-bar-position}.
For a detailed description of frame parameters and customization,
see @ref{Frame Parameters,,, elisp, The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}.
