Recently I updated Lazarus to the latest version and the „RUN‟ toolbar
disappeared again.
Untill now I have always succeded to google how to enable them, but
last days Google just refusez to give me an answer.
Help?

What is "Run" toolbar? I suppose is the second band of the IDE
Coolbar. If yes then Right Click the IDE Coolbar then open Options.

No need...
Tools|Options|Editor Toolbar|Configure
or
Tools|Options|Ide Coolbar|Configure|Run Menu Commands
or both

Note that you have to check the IsVisible property for Coolbars... It
may be the case that it is just that.

Thanks, it works! I would never thought that this could be called
CoolBar.

The name originates from a Windows COM control. VB and Delphi had a
wrapper for it. In Delphi VCL the class name is TCoolBar.
LCL also has a TCoolBar but it is a cross-platform custom-drawn
component, not a Win API wrapper.
It is used in the IDE, thus name "IDE CoolBar" is logical.
One CoolBar can have many ToolBars.

Correction: The Windows CoolBar is a native wincontrol. I wrote a KOL
wrapper for it some years ago, hence I know. The VB COM stuff is just
a wrapper for the native control. The Delphi Coolbar is afaik also a
native wincontrol.

Ok, thanks.
I only remember that the Delphi's Coolbar did not behave well at
design time. A control (like Toolbar) was not locked to its band, it
could be moved by mouse. At run time it was locked. There were also
some other minor design problems.
