Quero Toolbar IE add-on

After migrating from IE6 to IE7 I often hear users complaining about the loss of screen space due to the newly added tab bar and I am asked how to reposition the toolbars to just one line again.

My answer is: With Quero you can as long as you can do without tabbed browsing and the command bar.

Minimal Toolbar Layout

In IE8:

  1. Disable tabbed browsing (Tools > Internet Options > General > Tabs Settings)
  2. Hide the command bar (Tools > Toolbars)
  3. Hide the Favorites button (Quero > Options > Appearance)
  4. Unlock the toolbars. Now you can move them to one line.

In IE7:

  1. Disable tabbed browsing (Tools > Internet Options > General > Tabs Settings)
  2. Disable the command bar (download the Quero Launcher and run once: qlaunch.exe commandbar=no)
  3. Unlock the toolbars. Now you can move them to one line.

Tip: To save even more space, use a small button Quero Theme and hide the status bar.
