"QT Tab Standard Buttons" should have multiple rows (not hide extra buttons)

Please make a setting to EXPAND the NUMBER OF ROWS for "QT Tab Standard Buttons".

I use many buttons.
And I like having the the option "Show Text Labels".
This makes it easier for me to find the button I need.

But the program hides extra buttons.
Look at this image:

Instead, I would like the buttons to display on MULTIPLE ROWS.
So that I can see all of them.

it seems to be limited by the xp—-One toolbar ,one row.

I am the original topic-starter.

If XP has a setting that prevents multiple button rows…
There are alternatives.

1) You can create MULTIPLE button toolbars.
That way when one row is taken up, another toolbar can be created.

2) You can place the TEXT UNDER THE BUTTONS*.
(*Currently, text is placed on the right side of buttons, taking up too much space)
That way, when using small-suze buttons, you can fit many more in one toolbar.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying…are you implying that there ARE ways to make these changes in windows explorer, or is this just your wish list?

If you've found a way to make these changes, please supply more details. I've literally spent weeks in the past, reading hacking forums, studying tweaking utilities, googling, etc, until I finally gave up in frustration…I never could find the answers.

No, these are suggestions for Quizo.
I don't know any programming myself.

These suggestions shouldn't be that difficult for Quizo.
He already created his custom "QT Tab Standard Buttons" toolbar…
He just has to duplicate it, and let the user add another one.

Perhaps rearranging the text at the bottom (instead of the right side) is bad idea. So just ignore that one.

Actually, this should be a very simple hack for Quizo, and shouldn't need another (2nd) toolbar. Toolbars that automatically wrap into multiple rows (instead of stopping at the end of a single row with a chevron button (»)) have been around in a lot of applications, fx, the older MS Office's menu bar. Browsers also have the capability of wrapping tabs into the next line.

This tweak would be useful even if you don't use a lot of toolbar buttons and/or text…fx…whenever you use a small(ish) explorer window with a normal amount of buttons, they can still hide on the right side of the toolbar row & terminate with a chevron button (»).

I hate chevrons. Hopefully Quizo will consider making the toolbar buttons automatically wrap to the next line when the toolbar becomes too narrow to include all buttons on the same line.

Johnboy, thank you for your explanation about toolbars and "chevrons".
You have made a good contribution.

I hope Quizo implements our suggestions.
Or I hope someone figures out how to change the exisiting program.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
