Change Toolbar Icon Settings on 10.04 LTS

[volobiz]

I have installed the new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and do not see where I can change the toolbar icon settings such that I only display icons, not text labels beside the icons. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here's the answer. Rightclick the logo next to the Applications menu and choose Edit Menus. Go down to System Tools and check off Configuration Editor. This is basically a tool called gconf-editor. Click Close and then choose that menu item from the Applications\System Tools menu.

Now this is sort of like a Registry Editor if you are familiar with Windows. Expand to this path:

/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style

In the value you see for "toolbar_style", double click it and type in a new value of "icons". Click OK and then click the X to exit the Gconf-Editor application.

Now your menus will be only icons.

Why the GNOME team decided to not make a control panel item to manage this in standard Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I'll never know. It was in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, previously.

I think it's been removed by Ubuntu.
As far as I know, GNOME still has this option.

EDIT: I was wrong. The GNOME team did infact remove this option.
