The Property bar is one of the most useful of the CorelDRAW's default toolbars; it contains the most commonly used functions that are relevant to the active tool or to the task you’re performing. The Property bar is not a toolbar; when you start the CorelDraw the Property bar displays informations regarding the current document; as you continue to work, the Property bar content changes depending on the active tool (or the performed task).
When no object is selected and no task is performed, the Property bar display the current document settings.

If you want to change the bar's appearance go to the main menu, choose Tools -> Customization -> Command Bars and click on the Property bar. Now you can change the size of the buttons, the bar's border, the buttons appearance, etc.

The new item will be included in the Property bar of the active tool or task (if you change the active tool, the new item will not be displayed in the Property bar; when the related tool will be activated, the new item will become visible again). If you want to remove an item from the property bar, drag the toolbar item icon off the property bar. Important: it is not a good idea to change the default items of the Property bar.
