(IE7, XP Home) I like having the menu bar displayed, but the text on it only takes up about a fifth of the bar, the rest is wasted space. Is there any way to put command bar buttons on the empty part of the menu bar? I want to keep the command bar as clear as possible to make room for more web page tabs. Thanks in advance |

I should also say that I much prefer that all the command buttons be visible, not have to click the double arrows to see them |

Hi Francis, Not the IE7 Command Bar. It is fixed to the same toolbar line as the tabs. The Google, Live and Yahoo toolbars allow you to add custom buttons to their toolbars or you can download pre-built ones from their user galleries. Make sure you have the latest versions of the above toolbars, as earlier versions did not allow you to place more than one toolbar on the same line. Regards.

Don't know if this will work for you but it works for me. If you really want to make the best use of your space at the top of the page, 1) Customize your command bar by removing everything that also appears on the menu bar which is all but one or two items. This frees up almost all of the bar for tabs. 2) Un-check the menu bar. Sounds scary, huh? -- no menu bar and a near- empty command bar. But wait, there's more! The menu bar can be toggled on and off as needed by one click of the ALT key - easy to get used to. Now if you want a really lean and mean, but fully functional 2-line top of your page with the forward/back, refresh, stop, and home buttons grouped on the top left where they belong, and with links, tabs, address bar/search bar, explorer bar, and quick tabs, try the Quero taskbar and the tweak to relocate the address bar.
