Change your layout & organise your rooms in OpenToonz

In this video I show how you can change the layout of your rooms in OpenToonz. Showing how you can add window elements, remove them, dock & undock them, how to add new rooms, delete rooms and set them up. And also how to lock your rooms so that you can't accidentally change them, but if you do, I show you how to reset your rooms.
Go ahead and start changing your layouts to suit you. You don't have to stick with the room layouts supplied. I promise it's easy to do.

@@DarrenTAnims Darren I saw your work and it is a true work of art. My name is Chris I'm 15 and I began animating about 8 months ago, you can see that I've taken quite a break on KZbin. However I've started using opentoonz and I'm ready to produce some high level animation. Pleas do me an honor and watch my old stuff and get ready to watch my new stuff. Thanks again

I used the selection tool and the place where I should draw disappeared. Is there a way to reset all settings?

[@DarrenTAnims]

Which settings want resetting? In the video, I show how to reset the layout. I'm not sure what you've done with the selection tool though.

[@charlie.martinez]

Hello, please, could you tell me in which file the personalized panels are saved by myself? I would like to make a pull request in Tahoma2d with a customization I made of the StopMotion panel. I already found that the default panels are located in /tahomastuff/profiles/layouts/rooms/Default but I wouldn't know how to modify the room3.ini panel myself by writing the code, although I understand that my custom version has been saved somewhere and I intend is to copy and paste my version from there. All the best

[@DarrenTAnims]

I believe it's in this folder: Tahoma2D\tahomastuff\profiles\users\[YourName]\layouts\Default

[@charlie.martinez]

Thanks !

Buenos días, señor Darren. Estoy interesado en su curso de opentoonz solo que tengo una duda y esta es el curso lo puedo seguir en idioma español. Gracias .

[@DarrenTAnims]

Lamentablemente no he tenido tiempo de agregar ninguna traducción de idioma al curso. Intenté que todo fuera lo más claro visualmente posible. Entonces, si puedes seguir algo de inglés, es posible que estés bien. Sin embargo, hay 2 cosas que mencionar aquí. 1. Hay algunas lecciones gratuitas en el curso que puedes ver ahora, para que puedas ver si puedes seguirlas (o si Udemy ya ha agregado la traducción automática de idiomas). 2. El curso tiene garantía de devolución de dinero de 30 días. Así que puedes probar el curso y si no puedes seguirlo lo suficiente u obtener suficiente información útil, puedes cancelarlo y recuperar tu dinero. -------------------------------- Q. Good morning, Mr. Darren. I am interested in your opentoonz course, I just have a question and this is the course I can follow in Spanish. Thank you. A. Sadly I've not had time to add any language translation to the course. I've tried to make everything as clear, visually, as I could. So if you can follow some English, you might be ok. However, there's 2 things to mention here. 1. There are some free lessons in the course that you can watch now, so you can see if you can follow them (or if Udemy have yet added automatic language translation) 2. The course has a 30-day money back guarantee. So you can try the course and if you can't follow it enough or get enough useful information out of it, then you can cancel it and get your money back.

Hi Darrel.. I seem to have lost the "Basic" room! It's no longer on the rooms list top, right of screen. ( Version 1,6) It started when I was trying to lock the toolbar on the left side of the main window. I have uninstalled OT but re-installing it gives the same problen. Shoud I delete the "Opentoons stuff" folder from Disk C: before I reinstall? Thanks (Maybe my 85 year old brain has missed something)

[@DarrenTAnims]

The basics room isn't in the new version. They've changed the room names and the room windows. But the first room is likely ok for you

[@groeisterk]

Please help, my levels does not open in B. Although I say new, it keeps on adding up - now on M

[@DarrenTAnims]

I don't know what you mean by your level not opening in B. The default name is a unique letter, or set of letters, within the same project. You can choose a different name if you want to.

Hello sir Whenever I try to fill color my open toonz start crashing Version 1.4.0

[@DarrenTAnims]

Hi. If possible you should probably upgrade to version 1.5. This issue might be fixed for you. Also, adding OpenToonz to your graphics card's high performance list helps some users with these kinds of issues. I've a video about this.

Does anyone know a way to make the icons smaller? In every window the icons and everything seem very big and I have to make the windows huge to see or edit anything

[@DarrenTAnims]

This happens when you've got your Windows settings zoom set to higher than 100%. Set it back to 100% and it'll look fine.

[@beaufortbanana]

when i went to drawing it did not have the creating part

[@DarrenTAnims]

If you mess up the layouts or change your mind, then you can reset the rooms from the Windows menu, Workspace > Reset to Default Rooms (then restart OpenToonz)

sorry to bother yall, can anyone explain where my drawing room option went? i've tried reseting and its not there. i think a few other rooms have disappeared as well and its annoying the heck outta me

[@DarrenTAnims]

After you choose teste rooms, you have to restart the program. If that fails, it doesn't often, but can, then a reinstall would be the only way to get them back.

[@paradoxtatorstudios9681]

@@paradoxtatorstudios9681 Reinstaing won't remove your projects, but i'd always take a copy of them first (if you have any in your OpenToonz Stuff folder). It's because if this that I store my projects in my documents folder.

It sounds like you're talking about onion skins. If so, then yes. And I show how to use them in my walk through video from a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Darren. Please, I have a Question :) - I'm following your Course on Udemy and you have a Room/Workspace called "Timeline" - I don't have this, and I have no idea how to create it with the same Layout, you also have a Room called "Basics" - I don't have this neither. I'm finding it a struggle to follow the course without the Timeline Room :( Thank you Darren T! :D

[@DarrenTAnims]

Hi. Thank you for taking the course. The latest version of OpenToonz has a different layout of rooms, so it's different at the start. The basics room din the previous version of the software. This is why one of the first things I do in the course is to share a copy of my own room layout that I use throughout the course. This includes my Timeline room. I also show how to change your room layouts, so you can recreate any layout that you need.
