Hi,

The toolbar icon/text style follows the GNOME wide settings (except for 
the New button).  However, one of the other GNOME interface guidelines 
is overall toolbar visibility.

From <http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/toolbars.html>:

"Allow toolbars to be turned on and off in your application's 
Preferences dialog and by using the View->Toolbar menu item. If there is 
more than one toolbar, they are turned on and off by individual entries 
in the View->Toolbar submenu."

Viewing the month view of the calendar with the toolbar, search bar, and 
sidebar hidden is a data-centric thing of beauty.
