Yeah, it's needed, especially for audio player. It is part of flexible UI, that Amarok is going to have last time (and must have - to feel comfortable). *** Bug 218260 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 219167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Often it is objected to the "hide menu"-option, that users occasionally may type the shortcut and make the bar disappear without knowing how the get it back - it happened to me a few years ago, too. A solution would be to add the toggle option, but to NOT define a shortcut for it. Just write that in the release announcement, so that the ones who care can add crtl + m (or whatever) - which is no big effort -, and the ones who don't care don't have to do anything at all. The way it works in most applications, I think, is that the first time you use the shrotcut or the menu item, you get a popup message explaining that the menu will now be hidden, and that you can press the shortcut to get it back. The popup has a checkbox to not show it again, once you're used to the shortcut. Your solutions has the problem that if I hide the menu without having set up a shortcut before that, I can't get it back at all. Yes, it would be a problem, if there were a checkbox in the options or in the menu, I was just thinking about a shortcut as the only way for toggling the bar on/off, but maybe that's not a good idea. The pop-up surely is superior. *** Bug 232080 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This would be a nice feature. As Georgi Chulkov said, many other KDE apps display the first time a message that explain all this (ctrl+m ...). Alternatively, what do you think about removing the menubar, like many apps now do? e.g. Bangarang, Mini(tunes|tube), rekonq (and other web browsers) The status bar is in my point of view almost useless, should also be made possible to hide or remove.
