 I have the following concerns with the current toolbar behaviour:

  1. The two toolbars (standard toolbar and fixed toolbar) should be
 combined.

     I often wish to change the style of toolbar elements (size, icon-only,
 text-only, etc.) and this is currently not possible with the fixed
 toolbar.

  2. Also not possible is hiding of the fixed toolbar, a feature I most
 desperately desire.

  3. The fixed toolbar uses buttons, which is inconsistant with standard
 (sytem-wide) toolbar behaviour.  Instead, glyphs should be used a la the
 back/forward buttons in Safari and Camino.

  4. If not possible to combine the toolbars, I would still like to be able
 to add elements from the current fixed toolbar to the standard toolbar.
 E.g. a "directory up" glyph.

  5. The Quick Connect toolbar element should either be a maximum width
 element (a la the address bar in browsers) or two should be provided, one
 fixed, one flexible.

  6. Instead of the fixed toolbar's path dropdown, updating of the quick
 connect field would allow Cyberduck to act more like a web browser in
 execution.  In fact, Quick Connect could be, instead, address, and thus be
 updated for all actions (change directory, bookmark load, and quick
 connect).  An alternate would be to mimic Finder's behaviour of Apple-
 clicking on the title of the window to pull up a path drop-down.

 My dream toolbar is very, very similar to Camino's, icons only, small, and
 contains the following items, in order:

  1. Back & Forward Glyphs w/ Click-Hold Dropdowns
  2. Directory Up Glyph w/ Click-Hold Dropdown
  3. Reload Glyph
  4. Stop Active Transfers Glyph, and when idle, Disconnect Glyph
  5. Maximum-width address bar w/ protocol icon.
  6. Transfers Drawer Glyph
  7. Bookmark Drawer Glyph

 Thank you for your time,
   Matthew Bevan
