Menus, Toolbars, Widgets

I am very new to LibreCad, but very old to CAD (Computervision 1975). My issue is terminology and then menu positioning. When I look at videos, some people have very nicely laid out "menus".

I think I created a custom menu, but it just stacked the commands to an existing menu.

I think I created a custom toolbar menu, but I don't like having to access it by keyboard/mouse clicks. I would like it to float and be open all the time, but that sounds like a widget which I don't think I can create.

I have floated widgets and arranged them to my liking, but the arrangement gets lost when I exit LibreCad.

I would also like to increase the icon size, but Options | Widgets seems to affect only the "menu, toolbar" icons.

I have read a lot of the manual and watched lots of youtube videos, but I would appreciate any advice about my observations.
