It seems I can change all toolbars to either be text or icons. I want the look of Firefox 3. In Firefox 3 the bookmarks toolbar was text only wile the navigation toolbar was icons. I can't figure out how to have my Back/Forward/Home buttons be icons with my Bookmarks in the toolbar be text only.

Perfect. I figured the solution was in Firefox. Bookmarks Deiconizer was just what I needed. Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar did have more features but it made the bookmark font darker and fatter. Thank you very much.
