Toolbar Overflow Menu

When WorkBench is not displayed at 100% width, an overflow menu is displayed at the right edge of the toolbar. Clicking this drop down displays the hidden information from the toolbar.

A drop down on the right end of the toolbar shows Axis 2's settings when WorkBench's display is too narrow to show everything
