I use Google Chrome Developer Tools all the time. Suddenly, the toolbar icons went away. They used to be above each of Elements, Resources, etc... and now they are gone. I guess this is okay because I didn't need them in the first place. But, is there a way to turn them back on?

Posted this here because I Googled this to no avail when this happened to me a few weeks back. Finally stumbled upon Developer Tools settings and saw the option to re-enable the icons. – Dmitry Minkovsky Mar 11 '13 at 21:28

This happened to me too the other day. It took me a while, but I finally found the spot where you can re-enable them: just go to the Developer Tools settings. Incidentally, there is a bunch of other cool stuff there, too.
To bring up the settings (I'm using version 25), click the gear icon on the bottom-right of Developer Tools window. On the left, click General. Under Appearance, you'll find a checkbox labeled Show toolbar icons.
Incidentally, be sure to check out the Shortcuts area if you like to navigate with the keyboard.

On Chrome 30.0.1599.69 m, they seem to have taken this option away! Am I missing something? – kaveman Oct 08 '13 at 20:09

3@kaveman This was confirmed by Paul Irish in [this comment](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15167087/icons-in-menu-gone-in-chrome-developer-tools-after-update#comment-28525525). No reason given on why... – hitautodestruct Oct 10 '13 at 09:38
