Turning of the "toolbar" in the "MainWindow" via right-click is a one-way ticket; there's no intuitive way of restoring the toolbar

I wrote up a fix, but it might not be the most elegant solution. Basically, I just created an empty menu bar above the toolbar, so that there's a very thin line just above the tabs even when the toolbar is turned off. Then you can right-click on the thin menu bar to restore the toolbar. The menu bar is really not noticeable at all when the toolbar is visible.

Screenshots so you can see how it looks:
