Fetch empty space in TopBar

The Problem:

As a Roblox developer, it is currently finicky to work with the TopBar. With every update to it, it gets in the way of those who want to work with it as positions have a tendency to change as shown below:
TopBar1
Previously, the placement of those extra buttons would have been fine. Now they need to be moved again. It is inconvenient to have to guesstimate the new positions each time this happens.


Idea for a solution. Just an idea.

Unlike other posts ( Post 1, Post 2 ) discussing the idea behind adding icons to the TopBar manually and such, I think there’s a better way to handle it since you may not want to only restrict yourself to icons in that area.

Having the ability to fetch the lengths of the used-up spaces on the left and right of the TopBar. Then all we would need to do is do the math ourselves and any future changes to their positions would be a next-to-no problem.


If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my UI development experience without having to agonize over every update regarding the TopBar.
