Why don't I see the small icons at the top of the window in K7?

All the review and tutorial videos for Kontakt 7 refer to the small icons (see attached). I only see the menu words, File Library, View. Am I missing something? Are these menus the same as the icons? This has me a bit confused. For a while, I couldn't create a multi, as I'm used to in K6. It would only replace the currently loaded instrument, but it seems to be working now, but I'm not sure what changed. I assume you have to be in the Rack view to create a multi?

The icons were removed in the latest version and replaced with the text menus, so you're not missing anything.

I just want to add, that this trend in making clean GUI's is infuriating. I just tried to watch a tutorial video with these icons, but I didn't have them. So I spent an hour digging through sub menus and the internet trying to find how to make them appear. Then I come here to find they were removed… why. Just to make clean interface, that's more of a mystery for new new users. :(

It’s unfortunate that new versions often make previously easy tasks inefficient, besides having to spend time learning what has changed. Ok, new features are welcomed, but don’t eliminate good workflow basics. Additionally, creating a multi used to automatically assign ascending midi channels to each instrument. No longer does that :(
