You cannot drag and drop toolbars between the document window and the Dreamweaver
workspace frame.
Toolbars remain a fixed size. A toolbar does not shrink if the container shrinks or if other
toolbars are placed next to it.
You can show or hide toolbars from the View >Toolbars menu.
Toolbars cannot overlap.
Only the outline of the toolbar appears while you drag it.
