Hi guys!
I’m using Google Chrome as my default internet browser. I found it very useful to have the download toolbar to be shown when it’s downloading something.
Unfortunately, I clicked the ‘X’ mark on the right-side of the bar. Now, I want to bring it back so that I can see the download progress for my file. I know that I can click the wrench icon or use Ctrl + J to open it again, but it will just show the downloaded files on a new tab.
I want it back so that I can see it anytime, even if I transfer from one tab to another.
For your assistance please.
Thanks,
James

James,
I myself, like you have made the mistake of accidentally clicking on the x by the download shelf and turned off the download bar. However, you can easily reenable the download shelf by downloading another file. If the prior download has not finished yet, it will stil be present on the download shelf until you exit out clicking on the x again.
There has been a lot of discussions regarding the download shelf to be configurable by users. This has been an ongoing issue between the Chromium developers and the users. A lot of Chrome users usually would like the download bar gone altogether, but there has been some features discussed that you might want to participate in and provide your feedback . Just visit the current forum regarding the download shelf in Google Chrome.
Vsit the forum.
Happy computing!
