still nogo. (and i couldn't consistently get to the "new button" menu without factory resetting my toolbar)
I was hoping the color was not visible in my two column view off to the right, but don't see it even in single column
It's always there, as long as you're editing the toolbars (i.e. in Customize mode).
Note that if you right-click an existing item, the menu for inserting something new next to it is called Insert New, but if you right-click the empty space at the end of a toolbar, the menu is called New. There's always a New Button option below that menu.
