Moving toolbars
When unlocked, he toolbars may be relocated (ie. docked) and resized, and placed on separate rows or combined on a row to save space.
Using a toolbar’s grip (found at the left side of the toolbar), it may be dragged-and-dropped to a new row, or moved along that row effectively resizing the toolbar to its left. Moving a toolbar along a row is only possible when there is more than one toolbar per row.
Dragging a toolbar up will place it on a row with another toolbar, while dragging a toolbar down (to the bottom-most row) places it on its own row.
Toolbar positions are preserved by Explorer++ for the next session.
Bug
If the Address Bar has a second toolbar on the same line to the right of it, it may be partially obscured, even after restarting Explorer++.
Chevrons
If there is insufficient room to display all toolbar items, a chevron symbol (») is used; clicking on the chevron opens the rest of the toolbar, as a menu.
