Wouldn't work, because the Format menu bar is invisible while the Customize dialog is active. There's no option I found to use icons from inaccessible menus.

Looking at my 9Beta layout toolbar, with a report editor open, I have:
- four Align-by-side buttons (top, bottom, left, right)
- two align-by-center buttons (vertical, horizontal)
- three sizing buttons (width, height, both)
- two centering buttons (horizontal, vertical)
- two z-order buttons (back, front)
And that's it. What I would like to have on this toolbar are the buttons for the spacing options as they are in the Format menu (make equal, increase, decrease). Also the group/ungroup buttons would be handy.
On the rightclick dialog side, I love it as it is... for an individual control. I never understood why I had to go to the menu to set an object's font, and had to rightclick (or doubleclick) it to set other formatting options, control source etc. My only wish in that area is to be able to set the font etc (whatever the properties they have in common may be) for a whole group of objects without going for the menu... pretty much like we do in the PEM window. That would be a real time saver.
