The checkbox for 'Pathbar Style' is selected when 'Toolbar Style' is in use.

Are you sure you don't confuse "pathbar" and "toolbar" here?
Comment 2 bkp 2009-02-08 19:39:05 CET
Well, since I began gui software development almost 20 years ago, a "toolbar" has always been a group of clickable buttons (containing text and/or icons) and a "pathbar" is a textbox where a path can be typed. Isn't that what they mean in xfce?
Comment 3 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-02-09 07:37:07 CET
Yes I agree, it is weird...
Comment 4 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2009-02-09 14:10:16 CET
Well, a toolbar has always been a bar with buttons for different actions. Most times it's reaching across the full width of the window.
The current pathbar doesn't have different types of buttons. It just has one button for each directory in your current path. The current toolbar is a toolbar the way everyone knows it - except that it also has an input field in it.

The only problem I see is that most people probably don't know what a pathbar is because this (most likely) didn't exist before. IMHO it's correct the way we do it right now. Sometimes people just have to accept new terms for new things.
