The launchpad-style breadcrumbs are certainly an improvement, but I
personally feel that the more textual style for breadcrumbs (element
element element) would be better. Not only does KDE use this style,
but so does Windows Vista, and the majority of web sites that include
breadcrumb
This is the only downside I can think of to this style of breadcrumbs
versus the current style. That being said, as long as a hover state is
provided for the breadcrumb elements, I think it would be fairly
apparent that the elements are clickable. Overall, I think it would be a
win for usability
ShawnJGoff makes a good point that standard buttons are really not the
appropriate widget for the breadcrumbs. Not only are they an illogical
choice, they also look very unattractive. Instead, it would be
preferable if the breadcrumbs were made up of clickable text elements in
