what do you keep on your toolbar?

[ozontheroad]

just wondering what people use the toolbar for.

and also to let the people that are new to OS X know that shortcuts can be placed here

 

[ZunePod]

I never know there were plugins for that.

I just have standard lol.

oops...

 

[SHIFTLife]

The only thing I've added is the "Path" button.

Okay, so what's the secret to loading all those tools in the toolbar?

boy, that's fugly! i never put anything on that because of the colorful shiny icons. it's so inconsistent with Leopard UI. well maybe it's just me being perfectionist about UI since i do make a living as a designer.

Seems kind of pointless putting all of that junk up there when I can access all of it and much more with Spotlight.

In Finder, View -> Customize Toolbar.

Doesn't the dock play this roll?

It does, but it's often handy to have an application you are often dragging files too in the tool bar as it's a little closer.

At work i usually have quicktime and preview in the tool bar.

You drag it on top for a few second and then you can place them.

You might need to change toolbar icon to small.

Faster for users on a large screen and with those with file types that can open on different apps (to drag and drop on the app you want to launch it with).

I agree with you. People who rape the OS X UI should just use Windows, because that's clearly what they want - a cluttered mess!

Open a terminal window at your current location in the Finder.

Honestly, this is the stupidest thing I've read all day, and is a perfect example of why 85% of tech world hates apple fanboys.

edit: and please, don't use rape in this context. It makes you sound like an adolescent boy. (Even if you are an adolescent boy, don't use it. You'll understand why it's so ugly, one day).
