+1 Too. Currently I have only 6 bookmarks and they require 720 pixels in width, of a total of 1280px screen width, while each icon uses about 30px (margin included). The icons-only toolbar could display 4 times more bookmarks than the current approach.

One of the few features that IE 8 has that I actually liked. Saves toolbar real estate.

What if hovering triggered a thumbnail of the page to appear? A thumbnail system is already in place, and is accessible via a simple URL. I, too, find that text is a bit cumbersome. I'm a big fan of the refined half-taskbar, half-dock in Windows 7; I'd live to see something similar done to the bookmark toolbar. There'd be room for more bookmarks, and usability would be increased as a result of the clutter-free interface.

As there is limited space on the bookmark bar, I never include the text, but if the icon being used is the generic one, the only way to tell what it links is to hover over it. And if the URL is not memorized, such as via obfuscation or an unusual domain name, not even hovering works. Thus, it is important that the URL be identified with a certain icon. Also, there should be a way to suppress the text title so that it is only displayed when hovering; the only way to prevent the text from taking up space on the bookmark bar now is to delete it altogether. > > It is not possible to change the favicons.
