Sorry, I don't see that button anywhere... ?

What is most ugly to me is wasted space.

That said, if I could quickly toggle the Quickfilter toolbar on/off with the keyboard, that would be better than what I have now.

So apparently you didn't read all of comment 1 (read the last paragraph)? It addresses this...

So fix it and make it not hidden by default...

So make the individual buttons moveable... The only button I need is the Read/Unread button, the rest is totally wasted space for me - not oto mention the huge amount of space between the Sticky Pin/buttons on the left side of the toolbar and the searchbox on the Right.

So you must hate the huge amount of empty space between the sticky pin/buttons and the searchbox?

I don't want the whole widget - just the searchbox/sticky pin, and maybe the Read/Unread button.

I have mine hidden now, and it auto-shows on mouse-over of the Window Title bar using the HideMenuBar extension.

> * the quick filter bar is easy to show/hide

Not for me... I'd really like to know how to do this.
