Change the System Prefs toolbar style

Like all other Toolbars found in OS X, the Toolbar in System Preferences allows you to choose how the Icons are displayed.

Choose from Text Only, Icon Only, or Text and Icon by holding the Command/Apple key while clicking the Toolbar widget (the oblong button at the top right of the window). This allows more than the usual 8 or 9 items.

This should also work for any Cocoa Application using Toolbars.

Now that I think about it this is probably old news. But it's news to me. Enjoy...

[Editor's note: It's news to me, too ... and I couldn't find a previous mention of it here, so perhaps it's news to more than just two people!]
