Button for the 'Recent' smart folder - 53 views

Hi,

I've got the Diigo toolbar and for the most part it's great, however, I don't like having the full thing in view all of the time and would prefer just to have a small button for one click save (no problem) and also a folder icon next to it to show my recent bookmarks.

I'm being overly fussed here, no doubt, but my toolbar already looks a little cluttered - is there anyway to remove the 'recent' writing, as well as the ugly quick filter icon? (just removing the latter would be okay!)

Basically I just want the folder there.

Thanks!

Nick Drew,

I'm not sure if Diigo's toolbar icons work like normal bookmark icons in the bookmark toolbar of Firefox browser, but if it does, then all you need to do to take 'Recent' text off the folder icon is to right-click on the Recent folder, then click 'Properties'. A small window should pop up & the first open text box is "Name" which will have 'Recent' there -- delete 'Recent' & click "Save". This should give you the folder icon without the 'Recent' text attached.

As for removing the quick filter icon from the toolbar, I'm pretty sure you can do that by going to the 'Customize Toolbar' option & choosing what you actually want to show on the Diigo Toolbar.

Many thanks for the reply, unfortunately it doesn't work the same as a regular bookmark, only an option to 'edit this filter' and if you do select that, it doesn't have a rename option. Unfortunately there's also no way at all to remove the icon next to it either :(

So sorry again for reporting such a small problem, but screen space is at a premium at the top of my page and the icon is about 5 times as big as it could be :(

Nick Drew,

Okay... I went & re-installed the Diigo Toolbar extension & played around a little bit. I still can't believe there's not an option to re-name the folders. However, you can take them (the Recent folder & the Quick-filter icon) out of the toolbar area by right-clicking on the toolbar area and select "Customize...". (Or you can select "View" at the top of your browser, then click on "Toolbars", then click on "Customize..." which will get you the same thing.) Move the "Customize" window if it's blocking the items on your toolbar, then click & drag the specific item on the toolbar you want off it over to the "Customize..." window. This will remove it from the Toolbar area & you can find it there when you feel a need to restore it back on the Toolbar area.

I hope this helps you out.
