Re: [Chrome DevTools] Show / Hide icons in toolbar?

[unter...@gmail.com]

Yes, i agree.

The setting was removed during the last Chrome Update (30 i think).

I opened an issue, please comment ;-)

My post that you quote is out-of-date. At this time, no such setting exists.

Same question, there doesn't seem to be a way to make this the default? Without the icons, it's harder to tab back and forth through them, and it's useful to keep that preference every time you spawn a new dev-tools instance.

The icons have been disappearing after I enabled them in a way that I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

Thanks!

They are hidden by default in Chrome 25, which was pushed out yesterday. You can re-enable them checking the 'Show Toolbar Icons' in option in DevTools settings > General.

My comment is: try devtools without icons for a bit. The old icons were a mess. Icons really help when you have many items in arbitrary order, we have few items in fixed order. Requiring icons for panels puts an unnecessary burden on extensions.

Whether they were a mess or not is completely irrelevant. 

Icons are good UX. They are functional. You memorize things based not only on order, but on things like color, texture, shape, value, volume. This is how humans work at the fundamental level. 

Removing them is a shockingly naive UI 'improvement'. 

[jme...@linkedsc.com.ar]

I totally agree! I've been using dev tools from years now and I've noticed instantly the missing icons, because of the time wasted to read which tabs I'm looking for. Icons are always functional, even with a few elements, beside that they look a lot better from a design point of view.

I can understand adding an option to hide them, I can understand icons hidden to be the default, but with all that already done, simply remove them now and remove the option of bring them back... It's at least a regression (to not say stupid).

Why wasting developers time to removing features that are working ok?, I mean, not fixing it, not improving it, simply removing it...

Sorry for my english.

Note - Patrick was referring to the toolbar of the Developer Tools feature and not to the toolbar of the browser, so this is unrelated to extensions.

Using Google Chrome version 36.0.1985.125 m

1. Go to chrome://extensions

2. Under the information of the extension you want to add the button for, click "Show Button." If this does not appear, you may have an extension that does not have a button, or you do not have enough space on your toolbar and the extension-button section needs to be extended (put your cursor between the left-most extension button. and the search box. It should turn into a 2-way arrow. Pull towards the left).

Where's DevTools settings > General. in 40.0.2214.111? There's no option labelled DevTools.

[PhistucK]

In the Developer Tools feature, there is a button with a cog wheel icon. Click on it and the settings screen will appear.

Thank you, I've found the settings. The odd thing is that my Chrome 40.0.2214.111 (64-bit) is showing the Extension icons today though no change to the settings has been made lately.

You know it's really stupid to get a so-called "upgrade" only to lose icons.  Why in the world would someone devise an upgrade that makes things more confusing.  Just like these cockeyed geeks.
