Toolbox

This optional addition to Foundry gives you quick access to a variety of Foundry's tools and allows you to drag and drop them directly from Toolbox onto your page anywhere you like.

Examples

Toolbox does not create any output itself on the published page, and is geared toward Edit Mode only, thus we don't have anything we can show you here as an example.

IMPORTANT

MacOS Ventura

Alternate Display Style

Ventura poses some compatibility issues with Stacks Edit Mode when using fixed position elements such as Toolbox. To accommodate this masOS / Stacks limitation we've adapted Toolbox to show a simple Icon when a tool is added to the Toolbox in Ventura, whereas on other OSes like Monterey you'll see the actual Foundry tools themselves. In both cases, once you drag the tool from the Toolbox to your page it will act normally.

Tollbox will work in Stack v4, but we highly suggest Stacks v5.1 for best experience.

Acceleration Mode

Acceleration mode is not supported by the macOS Ventura operating system. Using Acceleration Mode in Ventura will cause display issues within Stacks Edit Mode.

Toolbox Placement

Edit Mode

Foundry Images

This feature allows you to hide some of the Foundry-based images in your project's Edit Mode area. This can help speed up Edit Mode a bit, especially when using Remote or WebP based images since these will be loaded from a remote server. This only hides the images in Edit Mode.

Acceleration

In addition to giving you quick access to Foundry-based tools, Toolbox also includes an Acceleration option. This feature adds a bit of CSS to the Edit Mode container which causes Stacks to offload some of the rendering to the video card. This helps make things less laggy in Stacks Edit Mode.
