Hello :)

While the new in-house toolbar is globally very sweet, would it be possible to enhance the light creation part ? I mean, instead of changing the light type afterwards (plane, disk ...), would it be possible to choose directly what type we want to create ? for example, keeping the mouse button clicked would provide a "dropdown" buttons list, thus allowing to choose the light type ... that would be very practical.
For example, you can already use such a behavior with several buttons in 3dsmax: Transform Coordinate Centers (Pivot Point center, Selection Center, System Coordinate Center) , Snaps Toggle (3d, 2.5d, 2d), various tools "under" the Align tool,  various tools "under" the Array tool ...

Hello there :)

Are there any future plans to improve the Official Corona Toolbar ? sorry to say that, but I'm pretty disappointed by it ... while it globally offers useful things, it's not as complete as the unofficial one. Not only for light type creation (my first post), but also for the DR and Denoising switches.
Instead of opening Render Setup panel and go to the relevant section to switch DR or Denoising, it's great to have these switches directly in the toolbar. A nice addition would be to get a right-click to open the Render Setup panel in the relevant tab for DR switch and for Denoising switch ...

What do you think ?

Also, on a side note, it seem we can't permanently add our own buttons to it. If I add custom buttons to it, save a custom UI scheme, then my custom buttons aren't present anymore when I restart 3dsmax.

Thank you.

Agreed, very difficult to understand the purpose of the button from the icons

Agreed as well. IMHO, the "unofficial" toolbar is much clearer.
