Where is the ckeditor toolbar configurator?

I have a newly installed current instance of ckeditor.

The docs say, "The new toolbar utility, which you can find in your CKEditor distribution package, makes configuring an accessible toolbar a breeze. It is the most recommended way to set up the editor toolbar."

Where can I find this new toolbar utility? I don't see it anywhere.

Barring that, is there some more detailed documentation on what all the toolbar button settings are? I downloaded the "standard" set. In the config.js file in the toolbar settings it says there should be a "colors" item, but I don't see it.

Thanks,

doug

Toolbar Configurator will be available in each official CKEditor installation package starting from CKEditor 4.5 (which is the next major release coming up).

For now, open the "Toolbar Configurations" sample available in your CKEditor folder (/samples/plugins/toolbar/toolbar.html). It contains the automatically generated toolbar configuration for your editor package. You can copy the config and then customize as you see fit, re-arranging the toolbar groups and buttons or removing them.

As for why 'colors' is there -- it's because in the toolbar groups configuration all default groups are listed, including the unused ones.

Plugins usually define a group that their button should belong to, so if you were to add a new plugin to your build (or say, a new plugin would be added to the CKEditor package as a new feature) you could easily forget that you also need to add a new toolbar group to your existing configuration. So it's for automation -- when a new plugin gets installed, its button will automatically appear in the toolbar without further configuration requirements.
