Here's a mockup with a line under the toolbar, without adding spacing:  I don't think the line works very well here. It makes things look too cramped--alternatively it will require more margin to be added back around the toolbar, which consumes precious vertical space. Alternatively, different background colors don't look consistent; it's kind of like using too many fonts in a text document. Plus, whenever there's a change in the background color you need additional margin. (On the topic of "change in background color", I also experimented with making the menu bar grey, or the toolbar white, to avoid the change between the menu bar and the toolbar. But the menu bar is always white on Windows 10, and a white toolbar looked odd.) I do understand what you mean by "irregularity" with the space next to the tabs. But most of the time this will be filled up by tabs, so the typical appearance of the IDE won't have this problem. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
