I tried searching, but this seems to be a bit generic of a question to drill to the specific answer.
In the Dashboard Toolbar, where you add new views.
Is there a method to add a space?
On iPads, as you get toward the center of the touchscreen, this location has a built-in action and it is difficult to touch the dashboard button vs. activating the iPad action. If I could add a couple blank spaces to skip this section, I could avoid this.
