Why would you need to remove that one?

But actually that would be a question of 'skinability'. In our day of plug-ins and add-ons that would be just natural...

It is a waste of space for some of us. :)

As a matter of amusement, I just measured it - 15 pixels wide, 15 pixels high.  Your "average" and laughably low-res LCD (1280x1024) these days has around 1.3 million of the devious little buggers - and you're getting lung cancer from 225 little breaths of my second-hand smoke?

When I get a real job, I'll buy you a real monitor my friend, and we'll all burn our little eyes out together - in glorious HDCP compatibility and all the real estate you never thought you needed. :wink:

(I even had to blow it up 550% just to make it legible!)

Just for the record, yes, my desktop (via dual monitors) has 3,614,495 to spare (after 225 of them are "wasted"), but as I don't ever use the address bar, I could retort that the whole bloody thing's a waste of space.

But then again, I haven't measured the whole bar - yet.  :D

For my laptop?

Anyway: Small measurements sum up.  :)
Why should I have to waste 15x15px?

Ok, I'll buy you a real computer then.  And technically you're not wasting it - Nikos is forcing us to suffer for our supper.  Call it a service tax - it's less than your VAT anyway.  :wink:

You lads have it too easy these days anyway; in my day we actually had to use real writing utensils to take real notes to learn real things.  Now it's all virtual.  Thank God the technocracy will eat you up when you graduate so you can't do any real harm to humanity.  :wink:

Laptops in University; they used to call that cheating, you know.  :D

If that green thingy is eating your desktop real estate so notably... maybe installing xplorer2 was the main cause for that waste?

Using the smallest netbook and longing for performance of a biz class device - that's human.

But I still repeat - would be nice to let the users choose the skins they apply. Some guys do that, you know...

x² itself does not need much space. :)

We'll still have to write our exams with pen & paper. Sadly.

What, this not good enough for you?  Kind of reptilian to want to change your skin all the time...
