Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2010-09-22 13:32:26 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

In every kcm module there‘s a title with an icon. This is fine most of the time. But especially in areas where much space is needed and where there are categories on the left which state the purpose of the current shown module, it‘d be nice if developers were enabled to remove/hide that text.
This gets clearly with the new kpackagekit 0.61 where there is “Get and Remove Software” on the category list on the left and “Get and Remove Software” as title on the kcm module. This ist just a waste of space there because it is clearly visible that this is “Get and Remove Software”.

Reproducible: Always

I had the same idea and recently submitted a related patch to remove these titles by default: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22884

However in the ensuing discussion, we decided not to do it for various reasons (see the discussion there for details).

The good news is that the requested functionality to optionally hide the title is already available: KPageWidget allows you to set `headerVisible(false)` and it will hide the title for any page where it is deemed redundant or a waste of space.
