That's good. I knew I should have been able to change something. I
should have checked for that.

I was trying to make a program that looked like an example for the BASS
library. This would perhaps make it a little easier (for me and for
someone who would like to compare C to Eu). However, the toolbar is
about 22 or 23, not 34. It would be nice if the CY had to be in
multiples of 1. :)  But seriously, I think a solution would be to have
CY be in multiples of the grid size. That would make it a little easier
to work with and the user can set it as well.

On a side note, I noticed that you cannot make Class in the Properties
wait for Enter. That would be nice in case someone would like to type in
a value (for whatever reason). I tried to type in FlatToolBar instead of
ToolBar (which seemed to not work) and it lost focus for every letter
that I typed. It would be good if you fixed that.
