Hi Waymond
On the themes page, bottom left there are 4 tick boxes, the second of which is 'Active graphics' (I think that's the one that allows you to show buttons etc - The first one 'Vivid colors' brightens the whole page area and the third gives the background texture) - Also top left select 'All Pages' - Also bottom of 'Navigation Bar Properties' page there is are boxes to set show 'buttons' of 'text'in shared borders - Hope this is of use to you - Good luck!
