Why not report it for Marlin directly? Wanna make us patch it? :D

Marked as affecting Marlin.

But it wouldn't require a patch, Marlin's toolbar is editable remember? ;)

Will the buttons be made smaller so that they take up less room? As it currently is, I feel the view switcher is better suited back on the right. This way, one of the first things you see is the location bar, which is visually most important to the user. Currently, it is pushed pretty far across the app window, giving a somewhat cluttered feel.

Plus, it feels a bit unbalanced on the left, with a massive row of two different kinds of buttons (back, forward and then the four chunky view-options) and then just a menu cog on the right.

Granted, the user can always change it to their liking, but as a default, I think it was better visually distributed as it was, and while consistency with the other elementary apps is sensible, both Noise and Slingshot only have two buttons in the viewfinder, and not four.
