Toolbar Tip #2 - Shrink Your Toolbar

Many people do not like big toolbars that take up a lot of ‘real estate’ on their browser, as it reduces the amount of space left for reading web pages. This toolbar, however, can be made to take up much less space, like this:

Shrink Toolbar

All you need to do is click on the left-most drop-down menu (between SU logo and the search box) and click on ‘Shrink Toolbar’. This removes all of the text from the toolbar, leaving just the button icons. If you don’t like it, then you can go back to the menu and ‘Unshrink Toolbar’.

Depending on which browser you have, you might even be able to re-arrange your toolbars so that they sit on the same row, leaving you with even more space for your webpages.
