Hello,

I'm actually playing with KDE 4.1 before the big change from 3.5.9. One of the things that i've changed is the way i use apps. Once the app is properly configurated, and placed the icons that i need, the menu bar is no needed in my day to day work. So, i hide it with Ctrl+M. In my 1280x800 display, all vertical space is wellcome :-) and, why not? at least for me, is visually better :-)

This, can be done in many apps, like konqueror, kget, dolphin, okular, kopete, gwenvieew, etc... But in other apps, the menubar can't be hide, nor option in menubar, nor Ctrl+M.

A not complete list of apps that can't be hide the menubar:
akregator, kwrite, kmail, system monitor, juk, dragon player....

KDE should provide this option to all apps, to get a concordant DE.

I don't know if this request must be created for each apps involved, or this can be sent to all devs in the way "all KDE apps must have this option, make sure yours have it".

Any information needed or just comments, say them.

Thanks for reading it. Hope this helps to make KDE better.

Bye
