Did you know you can add, move or remove most of the toolbar items for AOL Desktop for Mac? Each major component that has a toolbar has the ability to customize. If you use a Mighty Mouse or a 2 button mouse, most of the changes are as easy as right-clicking any of the grey area around the buttons in the toolbar:

Here are all the customization options for the application toolbar:
