Re: Colored Toolbar Separators
Awesome, that works great! Useful as both a flexible spacer and for custom separators!
It took me a minute to realize the usage is slightly different between spacers and separators. For anyone else trying this...
Spacers/Labels: Uses
Name:
Separators: Uses just the new keyword (so that your icon still shows up)...

Re: Colored Toolbar Separators
I'll be honest, I think that's a bug, because this also works...
I assume you're using some kind of regex? If it's the same flavor as the SC functions, I know it can be quite limiting for more complex patterns... I'm really crossing my fingers that TB will put-out with a better regex engine someday

I think I mistyped that example. Using
Those examples I showed would go into the
Name: field when editing a CTB. I was just highlighting some usage, but in practice use DIS:: in the name field for your separator CTB. That way it doesn't respond to any mouse-over actions and is just an icon.@Don
I think I mistyped that example. Using
WirlyWirly:DIS::FancyPants works the same as DIS::. Not really a problem, since the result is the same; Including DIS:: anywhere in the name field will disable the CTB.-
