Location, Size, and Appearance of the Office Compatible 97 Standard Toolbar

The standard toolbar should be located directly below the main menu bar, and it should be positioned against the left margin of the window frame. The bar should be gray, and its buttons should include tastefully selected colors whenever possible. Its height should be approximately equal to the height of the standard Office toolbar, and its buttons should be about equal in size to their Office counterparts, which are 16 x 16 pixels by default (32 x 32 pixels if the user has selected "large buttons"). The spacing between adjacent buttons and between adjacent groups of buttons should also be generally comparable to the spacing within the Office bar. Precise dimensions and colors are not crucial, but the general appearance of the application's toolbar must be generally comparable to the Office standard. In no case may there be a glaring difference which could confuse or irritate users who are familiar with the Office.
