Description RaitaroH 2018-11-04 10:37:53 UTC

Right now it is possible to have the toolbar, then the places, then everything else. I think it can save some vertical space to have the toolbar vertical, but I can only place it to the left of the places panel which I don't like that much. It adds some empty space at the bottom and looks less clean. Doing it the other way around, having places > toolbar > everything else, I think looks a lot better.

This is going to sound stupid... but how to you make the toolbar vertical and relocate it? It never even occurred to me that this was possible, and now that I know it is, I can't figure out how to do it.

QMainWindow enforces this specific order. See image at http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmainwindow.html#details

Wow, you don't know about it? 

Right click on the toolbar/places. Uncheck lock. You will get a handle at the top. Now you can move it.

And I assume nothing can be done right?

Well it would require a Qt patch. Anything's possible. :)

So do you accept the challenge? :0

LOL probably not, at least not soon. Contributing to Qt is something that's pretty far beyond me at the moment.
