When KDE is newly installed, Konqueror's window contains a Menubar, a Toolbar, a Locationbar and possibly a Bookmarkbar.
Maybe you don't need all these bars. To hide one of them, go in Settings->"Show whateveryouwant" and uncheck its box. To show a hidden bar, just check the box.
On the left hand end of each bar you can see some vertical lines. By LMB clicking on them, you "flatten" the bar, meaning that it is hidden but can be quickly restored by LMB clicking on the now horizontal lines.
You can also drag the bars and make them float by dragging these lines.
If you RMB click on the Toolbar or Bookmarkbar, you will get a menu to configure this bar. You can choose the orientation, text position and icon size
![]() | If you hide the Menubar, you won't be able to access the Settings menu! To restore it, RMB on the view and check "Show Menubar". |
The contents and position of Toolbars can be configured with the Menubar Settings->Configure->Toolbars option, which brings up the "Configure Toolbars" Dialog Box.
Here you can change buttons. For example, let's suppose I don't need the "Back" and "Forward" buttons but I would like to add some more icons to the Toolbar.
By clicking on an action in the right hand box (Current actions:) and clicking the left arrow in the center, I remove that action from the Toolbar. By clicking on an action in the left hand box and clicking on the right arrow, I add the action to the Toolbar.
Note that you can rearrange the position of buttons in the Toolbar by clicking on the up and down arrow buttons.
