SF16 has fat bars on the left of every toolbar. They are ugly and use up space. I think they might be called grippers and they are used to grab the tool bar. How to hide them? Either I managed to do it with V15 and forgot or V15 didn't have them. Thanks.
From what you write I think you are referring to what are called "Scrollbars". If so, their presence or absence is dictated entirely by whether everything shown in the toolbar list is visible. In other words, if present, they are there because the window for that toolbar is too short.

@Unsounded, I am not sure what you are referring to either.
Which version of Sound Forge-16 do you have.. the display is basically the same, but some of the settings and options can differ between SF Pro and Audio Studio.
In either case, the applicable settings for Scrollbars, Level Ruler, Overview and such are in the "Options> Data Window" menu.
The toolbars and toolbar icons can be customized in "View> Toolbars> Customize".
Meters, Time display, ect, are in the "View" men. Many can be docked or floated.
Thanks for the replies. I don't mean scrollbars. Here's a screenshot to show what I mean.
And I was mistaken. SF 15 build 161 has these fat gripper bars as well. Some programs I have can lock toolbars in place and then the grippers take up no space at all. Use two or three toolbars and a whole icon is effectively lost.
Hi @Unsounded, it appears there is a Separator (vertical line) next to the toolbar boarder. You can remove, add or move Separators in 'View> Toolbars> Customize' settings.
Here is an example of the SF customize settings window in my PC (the icons may appear slightly different in Sound Forge 10, but the setting is the same.
