ah! much better. never would have thought of that.
i actually tried adding a bit of padding but the way this works i got myself in trouble. it either added all the padding at the start of the row or it wound up sort of stepping, where each button was a little lower than the one to its left.
the thing that's really awesome about this is that the buttons stay where you put them. the native reaper toolbars can change their position if you accidentally bump the window and its size changes. very frustrating. this is great!
thanks again for all of the great work!
