And as shown, increasing the min width of AB to 100 still doesn't make it really usable...I still would love a setting somewhere that would provide the min pixel count that we want instead of a fixed value.

Now that we have dropdown, I would gladly shove some TB icons to 'overflow' to get a somewhat usable AB but since I have no way of defining where that split occurs, I'm kinda stuck with a tiny AB.
I see. I will add something. (I have no time now to add another splitter to do resizing by dragging.)

Let's move the AB width issue over to this http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 48&start=0 thread about that specific item...so see my reply there.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Also, when wheeling sometimes the button on the right remains only half visible. It works, and dragging will take care of showing it all or hiding it depending on what's possible.

As mentioned by jc, when I wanted to try this overflow button, I had to try really hard. I mean, it's only once the AB is really small that it shows up, but also - and though it is only a tweak - when you have TB & Tabs on the same row, there's no way you'll ever get the overflow, the TB will eat you tab if it has to!

(So yeah, maybe a setting (on Config TB) could be added: show up to n buttons (after that, it's overflow) wouldn't be a bad idea? For those who have that old single-pane layout (not that I am interested personally), or those who might want a long AB and yet easily have some extra TB buttons available in a click...)
