Description Roland Leißa 2008-09-15 02:46:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

There are some places where space is wasted:

1. A tab bar with buttons on the side (like in kopete or konqueror, for closing or opening a new tab) wastes space. The tab bar could be closer to the tool bar/main menu. Have a look at Kate's tab bar. There isn't wasted space (though there are buttons...)

2. Because of the "K" in the upper right of konqueror I assume there is much more room between the main menu and the tool bar then necessary. 

Would be nice, if this gets fixed.

P.S.: If this entry looks fragmented somehow, it is messed up by konquereor. Is this a website or a konqueror bug?

Screenshot, please.

In the screenshot you can see Kopete, ksysguard and kate. The last two don't have the wasted space problem. Kopete and Konqueror have the same problem. I didn't include konqueror in the screenshot because the comparison would be unfair because of bug #166593

konqueror with patch from bug 180852

Today I played a bit with oxygen's code. Have a look at Bug #180852. The attachment shows, how konqui looks now for me. IMHO only the icon has to be made slightly smaller.

improved gaps between menubars/toolbars, toolbars/toolbars and toolbars/UI

Ok, fixed the issue with text under icons.

In the attachment is a patch, which makes some gaps a bit smaller. I really like this version. One thing that still annoys me is the gap which is caused by LineEdits in ToolBars. You can see that the bottom gap is larger than the top one if you drag systemsetting's toolbar away or Konqueror's location bar.
