Create blank spaces in icon bar

Post by *tcebob »

I'm trying to position buttons over left and right panels, more or less centered. I found that old buttons for nonexistent programs leave a blank space, but when I copied them the result was a divider. There are blank icons in Shell32.icl, but they have the same result. (By the way, substituting a blank icon on a desktop shortcut makes an interesting effect.)

Any suggestions?

You must specify both a command and an icon file in order to see full-sized button (if you don't, TC shows button as a separator). You may create user-command that does nothing (e.g. calls some program that does nothing or some TC internal command that does almost nothing:)) and set empty icon for it (you may create such icon in any icon editor). Then you may just choose that custom command for empty buttons creation.

I'd have sworn I tried that, but it worked. I used command "cd ." and took a blank icon out of shell32.icl.

Thanks
