Right-clicking on a button offers additional options. As for the //Toolbar Style//, you can move one level at a time by clicking on the {gui>Back}, {gui>Forward} or {gui>Up} arrow icons but if you right-click on the {gui>Back} and {gui>Forward} icons, you will see a pull-down history of previously visited folders to select from. The {gui>Home} icon will always take you directly to your Home folder.+Each style gives a slightly different visual indication of where your current folder is in the file hierarchy and offers different methods for navigating through the file system.
