Hi, The picture below, right on  is what my Lightroom used to look like. Now it looks like the one below. How do I get it back please? I like to click on the small four squares and bring the thumbnails up on the main screen. Now I can't. Thanks in advance, Tony

The screen shots are too small an area but maybe try the T key for Tool Bar???

Hi all,

Here are bigger screen grabs.The bathroom shot is from my older Lightroom 5.7. I have the option above the thumbnails to view on the main screen. Using Lightroom CC (the Christmas room)I have managed to lose that option. Can anyone tell me how I get that back. I have a feeling it may be something to do with View Mode. but so far I haven't discovered what to do. Thanks in advance, Tony

The different views are only available while in the Library. Your xmas screenshot shows you are in Develop module.

Additionally:

You seem to be hit by an acknowledged bug Adobe will fix, possibly in the next release (just a guess): Lightroom: Filmstrip is covering / overlapping filter- and breadcrumb bar | Photoshop Family Custome...

Possible solutions: Lightroom: Filmstrip is covering / overlapping filter- and breadcrumb bar | Photoshop Family Custome...Some say resetting preferences did help: Resetting Preferences in Lightroom CC/6

It the 'T' does not help:

Lightroom: Filmstrip is covering / overlapping filter- and breadcrumb bar | Photoshop Family Custome...

For faster working hit 'G' for the grid view and 'E' for single image view.

I also see some '?' on your folders. This always rings some alarm bells.
