Someone put a bit of time into getting this effect just right.

Unless you widen the Toolbox ...

I'll just further note that they didn't pass that text past ME. :-) Viz:

" ... onto this text to add it to the toolbox."

1) "it" has an unclear antecedent. Refers to "an item" but is closer to "this text".
2) Toolbox s/b capped.

But, you know, poetic license and all. :-)

Ah, so the text can be misinterpreted as:

"Drag an item onto this text to add this text to the textbox"

You editor types are sharp.
