How can I resize (shrink) the address bar?

Hi,

Please see this screenshot of my navigation bar: http://i.imgur.com/SfD5rKP.png

I should have a lot of room for buttons, but one is cut off and separated into a sub-menu. I don't even think that makes sense since only one button is replaced by the menu button, but this seems extra silly because there's so much area (that should be) available. If only I could resize the address bar, there would be plenty of room for that button. How can this be done?

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Hi,

Thanks. The resolution on this monitor is 1920x1200.

I just re-orded the buttons, and it seems that the sub-menu is only created when a particular button, Gmail notifier, is last.

So, while not exactly solved, I'm satisfied, and will mark this as solved I guess.

As far as I have seen the address bar normally shrinks to a minimum size then only the the icons are hidden, in you case I can see that the address bar has not yet reached the minimum width.

Can you provide your screen resolution
