I am setting the canvas width to 25 or something like that. It leaves enough room to display the button and a vertical bar. In my approach I also have to react to resize events of the main application... constraints unfortunately don't work with Resize / Move effects... that's because you only have xFrom xTo, and widthFrom and widthTo etc. It would be nice if they actually had a rightFrom, rightTo leftFrom, leftTo etc.
