But if you're in front of your large monitor you might jump over to InDesign right now and see if you can see more icons in your control panel than me. When you don't have enough pixels to show all of the possible features in the control panel, InDesign just hides them, and when I'm recording this video we have to keep it at a fairly low resolution in order for it to show up right, so we're not seeing those icons here either. He was using a big iMac at work and now they gave him a laptop, and that is the problem.

Now you can't see them on mine either but it's not a glitch, as I explained to this nice man, and after a little bit of probing I found out that he's changed computers. Another thing that he said was missing was when he selects an object with his selection tool, he doesn't see the dropdown menu of object styles that he normally does, whether he's selected a text frame or an image frame. He actually has to switch over to the paragraph formatting controls where he can see the shading control, but he used to be able to see it right here. One of them that he said was when he switches to the Type tool and he selected some text, he doesn't see the icon for paragraph shading up here.

I received a worried email from one of my clients who said that he thinks that he has a virus or InDesign is damaged because he's opened up a document and he can't find some important icons going across the top in the control bar, and he thinks the features are missing.
