Change Finder toolbar View dropdown to icons

Hi there,

I just set up a new laptop running Monterey. There's one thing I can't figure out and it's really bugging me! I don't like having the Finder toolbar's View section as a dropdown menu, I liked the old way with individual icons instead, because my fingers are used to changing those at a single click and I do it frequently.


However when I go to Customize Toolbar, in the customize preview it actually displays them as individual icons, and yet when I drag it to the top of my finder, they're back in a dropdown. Is there any way to get the individual icons to display?


Thanks!

It collapses them if there is not enough room in the toolbar. The search field will also collapse to just a spyglass.
