Making Textpad 5 look like Textpad 4

Hi-

I was very happy with the default layout (search, tools, etc) in texpad 4 and fine the default in TP5 to be very counter intuitive and difficult to use.

Can anyone tell me how to recreate the default layout from TP4? (or where to download a "vintage" install?

Thanks!

I don't know how to make TP5 look like TP4 and pretty sure it's not possible, but actually version 5 does not contain a lot of new features so maybe just using TP4 is even better then making TP5 look like TP4. You could see if there is anything in version 5 that you will miss if you go back to TP4. Neither do i know of any open bugs in 4.7.3. I have seen several posts where people miss features availble in TP4 after they upgrade to TP5 though so for those using these features TP5 might feel like a step backward.

I would say that the main difference between TP4 and TP5 is the GUI so making TP5 look like TP4 sounds like something that can be done much easier by just using TP4.
