Making the window width smaller then about 560 pixels its not possbile to see all the icon on the tool bar.
So with a 500 pixels wide window i would be unable to use the search in Vim help ikon.
In other software like Notepad++ when there is not room to show all the icon there is added a >> at the end to show the rest.

Well, just make your window wider. Considering monitors keep getting bigger, I don't see why this would now become a problem.

Not all systems are going for bigger monitors/higher resolutions.
Giving Vim seems to be software aimed to work on so many different systems i would think it matter.
Lets say you are running a system that uses 1024 pixels width and you want to split two applications on the screen, one to the left and one to the right. Thats 512 pixels for each window minus stuff like process bar/dock/panel.
Raspberry Pi seem to sell a screen with 800 x 480.

gVim uses Win32's default toolbar API, and this is the default behavior.

I see the vim-gtk3 package (8.0.1453) have a nice down arrow to show the rest of the tool bar icons when there is not enough width.

I dont know about Win32.
Are there not a function or something to show a arrow if there is not room enough like i see in some software?

As far as I know, there's no such function in Win32.

How can i know if some software is using Win32?
So maybe i can find other software that use Win32 and have the arrow to see how they are doing it.
