Hello dmiko,

I spent the last few hours trying to figure out that problem.

This is the FIRST TIME I mess up with these setting so I don't take any
responsibility for any other issues it might cause.
Anyways reinstalling the software might bring things back to normal.


With that being said I managed to make the HORIZONTAL TOOL BAR look as it was before.

Follow these steps

1. Go to System>Form Editor





2. Navigate to the yellow folder: Modo "modes" toolbars





3. Drag and drop "Kit Manager" and "modo Modes Tail" from "Kits" into "ModoModesRight"
3.1 Uncheck "Kits"






4. Navigate to the yellow folder "Menu Bar", "Menu" and drag and drop "MakerBot" between into "ModoModesRight" (Order is important, re-arrange as shown)




At this point you should have restored things as before a part from an extra "MakerBot" button at the far right in the tool bar.
To remove it:



5. Navigate to "ModoModesModel" and click the PLUS to expand, in "Tail Category" remove MakerBot.



Everything should be exactly as 12.0 version of MODO.

Hope this will work for you as well.
Cheers

Howdy,

Thank you for the feedback. Workaround for the hidden V-Ray toolbar and how to used in Modo Beta. Download file (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hFW...ngbJiDguU/view) and unzip the config file to your Config folder check the video as well - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uHa_dMo1JxIHXAgdZrrxa5qd3cr1Qc0Z

and Bonus icons for the Modo Beta Layout https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1X...borKQdl7v/view

You can replace use this within V-Ray layouts too

This was done by The Foundry, because they think Kits take up too much space there.
You can find the icons under the Kits button and pin them as a floating toolbar.
Here is my way of bringing them back permanently, as a docked toolbar : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTwa8QZr9mQ
There are other ways of course.
We already have a couple of other threads about this issue.

Thank you guys for helping out. Modo beta seems like an interesting layout; switching between tabs is not so great and takes always couple of seconds.
