“Fill Available Width” for Library Menus

Set the "Fill available width" option in the <Update> menu of each library menu.

Menus without the option are distributed in the space left after the menus with “Fill available width” take their width. For example, the figure below shows the <Home> menu and the <Q&A> menu with the “Fill available width” option set and “Center” alignment applied.

“Fill available width” takes precedence over “Alignment” in the library style.

If you set “Fill available width” on the first menu, the remaining menus are aligned to the right even if you set “Left” or “Center” alignment. To use both options together, set the “Fill available width” option on several menus to match the style you want, as in the example above.
