Tool bar anomaly

[ronben]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Intel My customized toolbar has a 'close' button that is 3 times the size of the button on other toolbars. Also, the left-hand shaded column for grabbing moving the toolbar has a colon ) below the button. I don't know that get there. The toolbar works but it should look the others.

Any ideas?

The toolbars you create yourself do have a larger close button. I assume
that's to help distinguish them from the built-in bars.

Likewise, the dots you see are actually an ellipsis (...) which indicates
that the bar has a name which will display in that space [actually called
the Title Bar] if you float & resize the bar. The names of built-in toolbars
do not display so there is no ellipsis on those bars.

Thanks, the explanation helps. However, I haven't figured out how to re-size the custom toolbar. At the lower right corner there is a page corner flipped-up which looks like a grab point but doesn't seem to have a re-size handle.

That _is_ the resizing corner The pointer tip must be right on it. Keep
in mind that you can't make the bar any larger than it needs to be based on
the controls it contains. IOW you can't just arbitrarily make it whatever
dimensions you'd like, and it will not begin to change as you drag. As you
continue dragging [down & left] it will 'snap' into a 2-row configuration &
keep doing so until it is a single column rather than a row.
