I played a bit with buttons awhile ago, and found K-Meleon is a little unusual in the way it handles button management. 
First thing to understand is that the *selection* of buttons and the *look* of buttons are NOT independent here. 
If you switch to another skin, then not only the looks are switching, but also the selection of buttons, there can be a lot more or a lot less, depending on the choice of the original skin author. Because in K-Meleon each individual skin folder contains not only the button images (.bmp) but also an individual selection file (.cfg). 
A few special buttons (bookmark buttons etc.) are additionally created by plugins or macros, NOT this cfg-file.

Now there are several ways possible to adjust those buttons individually, whatever one likes best:

* View / Toolbars (works instantly)

or
* View / Toolbars / Options...

or
* Edit / Configuration / Toolbars 
This opens directly the config file in the currently chosen skin.
Each button consists of a few lines to point it to an image and define its actions on left- or right-click.
Add or remove the comment signs # on a button block to hide or show a button.
--> changes appear after next browser start
--> you need writing rights in that folder!

or
* Use your file manager and edit/copy/paste whatever you like, images, button definitions, their left-click commands and their right-click-menus, create all new buttons or copy stuff from one skin to another etc. Total freedom there.
For example you could copy on old customized cfg-file from Klassic-skin in KM1.5.3 to the Klassic folder in KM1.5.4
Or copy over single skin folders from an older KM-version to a newer one, which may need adjusting a button or two if a command name was changed (look it up in the default skin of the newer version)
The skin folders are located in the program folder, usually something like 
c:/programs/K-Meleon/skins/name1
c:/programs/K-Meleon/skins/name2
...
You can even create a folder ...skins/default and put in there special images that ALL skins can use.
You can even create a folder ...skins/name1(large) or ....skins/Klassic(test) or whatever, put an own cfg-file in it and only a few changed images, and those skin variations will catch the missing images from their family-folder (the one without () in the name).

If I recall correctly it was also possible to create skin folders in the current profile folder, there are usually less probs with writing rights, but not sure anymore.[/quote]
