Is it possible to have a custom home interface?

I know that there is a "custom" home, but i cant find out how to customize it (if it even is cusomizable)

i want to have a lot of common features in menus, as well as a menu for constants (other stuff like that), but i cant figure out how to do this.

is it even possible?

Are you talking about the custom toolbar option?

By running the custom toolbar, you can now create a replacement custom menu (instead of what was normally there).

For instance, if I wanted to have the program "runme()" as an option in the toolbar, I could do this:

alright, i actually figured that much out since my post. Thanks for the reply, but now i got another question.

Basically, whatever you put in "item" will be print directly in the input line. is it possible to put an item name and have it print something else?

For example, I solve equations with 3 vars all the time, so I want an item in the custom menu that says "Advanced Solver" but actually prints "solve( and and and ,{x,y,z})

As far as I know, this is not possible though.

As far as I know, it isn't possible. I haven't played around with the Custom syntax, but it seems from what it offers, you can only put directly what is in the item quotes.

If you made your own home application, it would be possible.
