Hi all, first of all sorry for my english
I would like to know if there is the possibility to show only the icon of the bookmarks in the personal toolbar
I don't want that the browser show the description like appears in this screen



I prefer to see only the icons cause i have more bookmarks to put in that toolbar

I use the bookmarks editor to remove the titles and effectively after the toolbar shows only the icons



but when I close and reopen the browser, icons are still present

is there a way to remove definetively the titles and leave only the icons?

Thanks!

You need place something small e.g. a point or a white "space" (broad key in the middle of keyboard) in the "Title" field while You are editing the bookmarks. Else K-Meleon will generate a title. Confirm Your changes with the ok button.

IMHO so far nobody had Your idea to use the icons to know the sites.:O

Your English is good & English (en-US) is only the Lingua Franca of this Forum.
You can post in any language where You can find someone to know the answer (AFAIK de-DE, es-ES and fr-FR possibly pl-PL & pt-BR also; it-IT ? Fred from CH maybe, he speaks several languages).

I remember some post about it some time ago, not more than one year ago.

Good idea
but another problem (for me ) is that the browser shows the icon representing the sites only in few cases. the most bookmarks have the standard icon

if you have a lot of bookmarks that you want to see in the toolbar, i think that it's better to show only the icons. there is not too much space to shows icons and titles, and it is not necessary to read that, for example, the Y! icon stands for yahoo

i would like to obtain this result




bye

thanks, so i am not the only mad that ask this thing :drool:

i'm seeing that sometime some icon changes from the standard to the site icon
it happens randomly...

@ dapog:

Is possible that you need load each bookmark to its icon to be saved in K-Meleon iconcache file.

Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cache (tab) -> Check "Cache website icons on disk" option.

it's enabled
now there are two more icons
i don't understand
anyway, no problem, i can wait that all the icons appear, hoping that it doesn't take two years

thanks and bye

Personally I find too many icons on show a bit distracting so what I do (thanks to old advice on here) is remove bookmarks bmp from skins folder and like you mention use abbreviations for site names. a, b, c, co, d, di etc

Only trouble then is their are no icons in main bookmarks menu.
But this is not too much of a problem because I have over 30 hotkeys set up to launch urls and rarely use main menu.

For folders on bookmarks toolbar again I use capital abbreviations such as F. V. Z. I. - I know what they stand for - and without bookmarks bmp there is no distracting folder icon.

Another browser I use on IE shell has the facility to remove icons from it's Links toolbar but retain them in main menu.

But I'm a toolbar minimilist I use plain old "classic grey" system colour instead of skin background, I like to focus on web page
