Design Details

Overview of component groups in the bookmarks bar

Component	Core Section	Bookmarks/Custom Section	Customize button Note:Not in Mojo until we have a way to show bookmarks bar contents alone in 'Manage Bookmarks" style window
Purpose	These are the core level access points for sites related to the Internet. Even though they are slightly different than items in the other sections (core, in there by default), all of these feature some kind of personalization/customization aspect Note: With the exception of "Home" these items are not in Mozilla builds	Let users 'park' links here for quick and frequent access	Make customizing this bar easier and more discoverable for beginners, leads to a folder like listing of contents like manage bookmarks.
Presentation	Core section contains items that will always be there, so far these are Home and My Netscape in this order. Both work as links These are there as out-of-the box default links would and expose blue color/ underline behavior upon mouse-over	may contain folders as well as links links would and expose blue color/ underline behavior upon mouse-over folders open similarly to bookmarks
Can be removed?	by going to prefs (later we'll have a customize command for all toolbars)	Yes, via Manage Bookmarks
Can be changed from Net	No	No

Context Menus

There will be specific items here to get at the properties of the bookmarks bar for advanced users with the ability, as well as to let the user reset the bar to the 'factory default (later, not for Mojo)

Items on the personal toolbar will have context menus similar to what folders and bookmarks have in the "Manage Bookmarks" window.

Note: This is a prelim. UI design until we have a better way to configure toolbars in general - coming soon.
