The Limber Panel

The text, buttons and icons in the main Limber UI panel will change dynamically based on how you re-size it. If you drag it into a tall, thin bar, the button names disappear and you can minimize the amount of screen space it takes up.

You can also remove and restore the different button groups from the panel, by changing your Settings.

⁖ Indicate

Path

Circles

Generates 3 x Ellipse shape layers, for you to re-position, re-size and re-color, to indicate a new limb (especially a Taper or Circle limb). Hold Option / Alt to generate four circles, for a 3-bone limb.
