I'm little tired to go to menu for some simple functions, so I've created little extension - Morebuttons 0.0.1 .
It adds 4 buttons: Full Headers, Normal Headers, Compact Folders, Empty Trash to main toolbar.

Known issues: icons are terrible. I didn't found any decent icons. Would be great if someone point me out, where to find nice icons.

Sorry for bad english.

I installed it on 0.5a (Jan. 21) and when pressed customise on toolbar I get the total palette for all four buttons. This happens on Qute and Orbit Blue. Is this 0.5 release only?

Using 20040207 and the buttons look fine in the customize toolbar window. Great idea but the buttons definitely need work. ;)

I've tested it on 0.5 and 0.5+ 200040213. Latest qute theme. Work fine for me.

Great idea but the buttons definitely need work.

You are absolutely right, but I am not designer ](*,) . If someone could draw some icons [-o<

I can add more buttons in any time. Major stop for me is abscence of icons.

Unghost, thanks for the cool little extension. Would it be possible to have a single button for the full/normal headers? Click once to get the full headers, click once more to get back to the normal headers. This would be great!

Hi,

I just installed this over thunderbird, and after using it once, the customize function (right click over the buttons) just greyed out .
Happens across all profiles since I isntalled in the program directory..
It happens quite randomly, in small icons set, sometimes I can reproduce sometimes not...(sigh)
I do have a lot of icons line up...(and perhaps too many extensions !! haha )

BTW, anyone know how to switch to "normal headers" w/o the extension ?
Just uninstalled Enigmail extension and couldnt get the normal headers to come back in the preview pane..



Thunderbird 0.5, 20040207

Regards
LSc

I really like the Empty Trash button, and the Headers buttons are great too :)

I have been using your extension for as long as I have had Thunderbird, and it's really great.

So thanks for making it :)

This extension is not working properly for me and I would like to uninstall it, but when I go to extesions, it isn't listed so I can't pick it to uninstall. How do I get rid of it?

Install Show Old Extensions 0.1.6 extension. Then you can disable MoreButtons extension.
MoreButtons is not compatible with Thunderbird 0.7 and higher. MoreButtonsPlus 0.3 is compatible.

Thanks! I did install morebuttonsplus 0.3 and it isnt working either, but that was after installing the first one, so that might be why. I'll uninstall and try 0.3 again.
