	Hi, I like many others were confused the by the toggle button on VS 2015 menu. I can barely notice if it is pressed or not. I hope you can replace it with normal check mark. It might be more user friendly.

	Hi, Thanks for the post. I agree it is confusing the problem is the solution. The "Micro Programmer" toolbar contains the same command yet toolbars do not tend to have text with the buttons. Therefore, the current system is designed so that the "Visual Micro" is a key/index showing "Icon and Text" making it easier to understand which command each toolbar button performs. Maybe the solution is to remove the "Micro Programmer" toolbar so that the menu can have a simple checkbox? What do you think?

	Thanks for your response. Regarding the toolbar, You may place "checkbox" to indicate if programmer is selected or not. This would be much better to be placed on toolbar. Another option is to change the icon color to indicate if it is pressed or not (must be visually clear like grey and orange.

	Hi, Visual Studio applies a standard background/shade it is outside of our control. Did you see the "Micro Programmers" toolbar?

	Yes I guess it is that icon If it is the problem, why don't you make it as a text/combobox like Arduino kit selection?
