Spaces and Separators

In addition to adding and arranging controls in the Toolbar, you can add spaces,
flexible spaces, and separators to arrange and group the contents of your Toolbar.

Separator: A separator adds a dotted vertical line between two controls. The separator
has no function other than as an organizational tool. The default layout uses a
separator between the effects icons and the interface icons.

Space: A space adds a single icon’s width of space between other controls.

Flexible Space: A flexible space distributes controls evenly across the Toolbar, taking
up as much or as little space as needed to fill the empty parts of the bar. The default
layout has a flexible space between the Mask tools and the effects icons.

Additional Buttons and Icons

The Customize Toolbar dialog provides access to additional icons that are not present
