I guess I'd feel differently if like you I had no favicons on the toolbar. I'd think icons + text makes the most sense as a default. But I don't suppose it matters much what the default is, as long as it's configurable. For Firefox, there's a neat extension which gives a lot of configurability for this stuff. I use it so that the text is shows for folders but not for individual bookmarks. It also has the option to hide text for bookmarks with favicons but show text for bookmarks without favicons. This kind of finer-grained configurability is something I think of as a SeaMonkey strength, so maybe somebody wants to see if the extension has anything useful that could be incorporated.

The "show bookmark names" on mouseover is a horror, since it makes everything on the bar jump to the right to make space for the displayed text on mouseover. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
