Override toolbar preferences and make it visible by default

[sophieminasyan]

Hi,

I am currently using the VS Code extension on a custom Theia application. I have successfully overridden the AbstractToolbarContribution, and the toolbar works as expected, but I still need to manually open the toolbar every time I start the application.

Is there a way to override the toolbar preferences to make the toolbar visible by default on startup?

Hey @sophieminasyan,

whether or not the toolbar is visible is decided by this preference. You can change the default for the preferences in your app package.json. See here for an example.
