mac_v,

Your screenshot looks much much better than the default. The spacing too
looks consistent.

I don't know how the actual code works and know nothing about
programming, but from what I see at the UI level, the two drop down
buttons are separate buttons (seem to be be even if they aren't) from
the Back and Forward buttons. So why is BACK a separate widget from
every other button like UP,HOME? It could be the same and the drop down
arrow be separate.

Ideally a much better way of doing it would be to have only one single
drop down arrow for both the BACK AND FORWARD. This is the method
adopted in Firefox by Mozilla and numerous other File managers and Web
browsers. It's merits are obvious, both the drop down currently show the
same set cut into two pieces determined by where you currently are. In a
single arrow implementation, it will show a full history with a radio
button/dot to indicate where you currently are. '

Furthermore, the HOME button needs to go (the STOP and RELOAD are also
fairly useless but can come into play when browsing files over the
network, they could and should be combined however). All of this just
increases productivity and more importantly space efficiency, which is
very important for users with smaller screens which are now very popular
due to this small  little (pun intended) not-so-transient fad
called........netbooks.

But since I can barely convince people of the current issue, I guess I
better just leave all that alone :P

But wait! what is this:

Wow, now THOSE are big changes, and it gets a CONFIRMED tag!
Does that mean it will be implemented in 9.10? :D
Lol and here I am pushing for a slightly larger back button.
