| There are also two radio buttons in this sub-menu. The buttons are used to choose which toolbar Amarok will use. The Main Toolbar has a larger height and slightly different controls than the Slim Toolbar. The Main Toolbar contains two main control buttons: A Play/Pause button and a button for controlling the volume. It also displays the name of the current media file and a slider for showing, as well as changing, the position of playback. The main difference between the main & slim toolbars are that the slim toolbar adds more playback control buttons.
