Hello,

Is there a way to have all the Toolbar options visible at once?

Not at the moment.  
A possible idea would be:

What do you think @dacap?

Actually it’s possible but there is no easy way yet. The [gui.xml file](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/main/data/gui.xml) must be customized in the `<tools>` section:

Each `<group>` could be split in other groups to add more buttons. In a future we should provide an easy way to customize the toolbox, something similar to PS way, e.g.:

Anyway first we have to complete [#518](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/518) which might include a generalized way to customize widgets included the toolbox as it’s named in [Suggestion/Feature Request: Allow customisation of the Tool Selection](https://community.aseprite.org/t/suggestion-feature-request-allow-customisation-of-the-tool-selection/12064)
