VMK Toolbar
Info Button
The Info button will tell you information about any room that you are in, in both public and personal areas. Instances are like different dimensions of the same room. In your own room the Info button allows you to edit the name and description of your room as well as select "furnishing mode", which turns your ability to move furniture on and off. You can also enable the room to allow everyone to come to your room, along with choosing whether you want only friends, people with tickets, your friends and people with tickets, or just yourself. The newest addition is the Clear Room button, in which you can clear all the items in your room, all together, and return them to your inventory. |
Travel Button
The Travel button accesses the VMK Map, from which you can teleport to any public place listed on the map. This is often quicker than walking from room to room. Some rooms cannot be access from this manner however, see Rooms not on the Map. |
Stuff Button
The Stuff button shows you just that, your stuff! These are the items that you have with you, not placed in a room. From this screen you can view your Credits, Furnishings, Pins, Clothing and Posters. This is also where you can enter the secret codes from cards, games, etc. |
Mail Button
The Mail button accesses your personal messages and Friends list. When you get a message or a friend request, a tone will sound and the button will flash to get your attention. |
Shopping Button
From this screen you can shop for rooms, furnishings, pins, clothing, posters, and specials. The "Specials" tab, however, is only accessible when in the specified shop ("it's a small world" Imports Specials, Emporium Specials, Golden Horseshoe Mercantile Specials, Inner Space Shop Specials, Shrunken Ned's Shop Specials, Main Street Magic Shop Specials).

HistoryAs VMK was being promoted before its opening, waiting players found this toolbar on the teaser images: Icons included: Info, Travel, Stuff, Mail, Emotes, Text, Magic, Camera, Preferences, Help, and Exit.
Icons included: Info, Travel, Stuff, Mail, Shop, Emotes, Text, Magic, Camera, Preferences, Help, and Exit. The Preferences button offered two tabs: Character for clothing and message, and sound control. 4 April 2006 introduced the in-game Quest and the Q button was added to the toolbar, sacrificing some of the Text area: On 2 October 2006 the toolbar was changed again: Preferences was split into Character and Settings. To maximize the Text area, the Exit button was shortened from the word 'Exit' to 'X', the 'Q' button was made noticeably smaller, and all the buttons were tightened up to save space.
