current situation. full toolbar.

SUMMARY
option for location bar next to the main menu

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Location bar is taking up a lot of space in the full toolbar. Pushing the toolbar buttons to the side. Also those you use the most.

EXPECTED RESULT
When the location bar is next to the main menu, there is much more space in the toolbar. The buttons are closer to the center of the screen, so works faster for the user.
And if spacers are used, the buttons in the toolbar can be spaced out for a more intuitive workflow.

This could be an option in the settings:
[ ] Display locationbar next to the main menu.

This seems reasonable. I'll forward this to the Dolphin developers to consider. Thanks!
