Fix Adobe illustrator toolbar missing. Question: “When I had Illustrator open, I moved my Mac’s view to the widgets desktop. When I went back to the desktop that had Illustrator, the Tools panel and other panels were missing. I went back to the widgets desktop and the panels were there! I could not figure out how to get them back over to the correct desktop, so I closed them. Now, back in Illustrator, I can’t figure out how to open them up again. I’d like to go back to the default setting. Please help!”

How do I get this tool bar at the top?
You can try Windows > Workspace > Essential Classic
Window>control will get you that window, and that window only; workspaces are collections of windows. If you get deep enough into illustrator you will probably end up making your own workspaces.
Control of line thickness also happens in window>stroke, along with a bunch of other stuff – the Control window only shows a few basic settings, the Stroke window lets you deal with a bunch of other qualities of how lines are drawn.
