Question

I added a personna 6/25/10, wanted to shorten the google navigation & search bars to see it but can't. Have re-installed the google tool bar, have selected the firefox tool bar version as my default and can then change the width but when one box gets shorter the other gets longer still filling the width of the screen. Customize tool bar doesn't give any options to shorten the tool bar width, I'm at a total loss. Would love suggestions if you've successfully fixed this.

The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.
You can only change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars.
You can only do that by adding a lot of Space elements in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
You can set a fixed width by setting the min-width and max-width to the same value.

#search-container {max-width:200px!important; min-width:200px!important;}
</nowiki></pre>
You can chose your own values as long as the min-width and max-width for each bar have the same value.
