Re: Nice looking, but...

I think that's one of the most important reason i neither use epiphany nor konqueror, but firefox.

In my opinion we don't need 90% of the options to configure the toolbar, we need just ONE function to make the menubar behave like many people want and expect it.

There's a screenshot of my firefox in the attachments.
I would never suggest configuring konqueror like this as a default, but the people who want to configure it, should be able to do it.

    You can remove the menubar in konqueror (it's set to the keyboard shortcut ctrl+M by default) and disable/enable whatever toolbars you like, so you actually can make konqueror look like that pretty easily. Saving the session so that it starts up with the menubar disabled is kind of tough (since the session save option is on the menu), but if you temporarily put the option in a toolbar or as a keyboard shortcut you can do it.

      I don't want to remove the bars completely, I want combine them to one bar.
      That includes the grab-bar too, only one bar at the top is enough.

        You probably mean something like that ! (see atached screen shot, which is in full screen mode)

        You have to right click a tool bar an choose "configure tool bars" in the bottom.
        then, add and remove what you whant to be on you "one line" pannel.

        Finaly, go to "configure", then toolbars, and unselect everything but the one you customised.

        use ctrl + m to hide the menu.


        YOU'RE DONE

          I already tried the hint with the menu, but I just don't like it.
          - I want to be able to access the menu without activating it and deactivating it after use. There a so many icons for doing useless things, but this one is missing.
          - It looks like crap, even the adressbar isn't vertically centered. There is way to much vertical spacing, but no horizontal spacing at all. This is due to the fact, that you can't make the icons smaller than 22*22 in the gui of konqueror, which wastes screenspace and looks horrible.

            I have to correct myself:
            - I just saw that if kcontrol is installed you can set the icon size from there for all programs, including konqueror.
            - I installed the QtCurve theme, now many things look quite good, compared to the default ones provided with kde 3.5.

            Sorry for my mistakes!
