Hi,

Is there an option of hiding the title bar in KM 1.6.0 ? I couldn't find it.

Yours,
Chanson

There's the full screen plugin. by title bar you mean the top of the window, not the menus and such?

The F11 key toggles fullscreen. In EDIT - PREFERENCES - GUI APPEARANCE - FULL SCREEN you can choose what to hide during fullscreen mode.

Removing the title bar is possible with an extension. Look for TS-wincontrols in the extensions. http://kmext.sourceforge.net/

There are different versions for various KM versions. One of the things this extension does is add "Title Bar" to the VIEW menu. It is an ON/OFF toggle. It also adds a toolbar with normal title bar controls.

Yes,I had found that extension.But I will use the fullscreen model,because I don't want to install too much extensions,maybe those would affect the speed or memory usage of the K-Meleon.
Thanks,you and snuz2. smiling smiley

@ Chanson

The TS wincontrols is very light on resources. I installed the version for 1.6 from this page http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,103175,page=2

I tested with task manager open and could barely see any change when I changed the view of the title bar. By the time I could change my focus to task manager, all trace of it having run was gone.

If you have a hard drive space problem, most of the files in root/TOOLS/TS-WINCONTROL folder can be deleted. The only required file is kmwincontrollers.exe. You might want keep the README file.

don't worry about speed.

I have about 60 extensions installed - and no slow down.

This is just one of the advantages of KM over other browsers - extensibility not causing downspeeding.

And if you are highly dependent on speed, try dugbug's KM-repack from here:
http://home.dbdbdugbug.operaunite.com/Projects/content/KMFILES

I feel up to 150% speed-up using it! No matter how much extensions!

@ JamesD
Yes,I had deleted all the other files as you said,and worked fine!

@ rodocop
Not exactly!
Last time I'd installed some extensions,and the speed was obviously slow! But I didn't know which one caused that,maybe the NoScript I guess!

I'd seen the files from dugbug before,but didn't use! I'll try it later.



Thanks,both of you. smiling smiley
