Ah, I see, you are still thinking of the palettes as being fixed
collections that need to be packed intelligently. But they are not, they
are whatever you want to put in them. So you can just pack a custom
palette of your own with all the buttons you want to suit the window
width that you use.
The ones I have provided are just some sort of a guess at what people
who don't want to spend time on the program might want. I have filled
them with buttons to match what I am guessing is a smallish screen
someone might have.
