Please attach screenshots with changes to the UI.

I don't think we need this.

Strings should go to the WebCore/English.lproj/localizedStrings.js

{ on the next line.

ditto

Should we compare things with 1 pixel? What is the reason behind this change?

We don't use sibling selectors.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/inspector.css:99
> +body.compact #toolbar.with-icons + #main {

ditto

I was hoping that this change would be simpler. Is there a way to optimize the styles here?

Ok, I'll remove it.

Since the body now has a 1px border when attached, the toolbar items will all have an offsetTop of 1.

In the current UI, there are several places where things are not centered. I decided to fix those in addition to removing the toolbar icons. Would it be better to separate it into two patches?

Yes please! It actually confused me...

Should it be enabled by default? I updated to TOT and to my surprise things started looking differently. I had to trace back from the trac.webkit.org to find this change. Only when I stumbled upon here I came to know that there exists the option to change this behavior. I am sure many developers will face this. Just my thoughts.

Yes, it should. Sorry for making it look confusing in the changelog - was a last minute decision. Iconless looks is where we headed long term, so I thought that making it default would be ok.
