Version: (using KDE 4.0.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In KDE3 I had nice, bug animated logo in toolbar. In KDE4 it is placed in the menu instead of toolbar. Please revert this to the old design. Bug, since putting anything in the menu is against KDE HIG. "Do not put anything other than menus and menu-options in the menus or the menu-bar.".

SVN commit 953953 by cfeck: Fix menu bar being too tall because of the animated logo The previous fix for the bug did not work, because Qt's menu bar does not respect the fixedSize() attribute of the button, but simply looks at sizeHint(). Also added an event filter to catch style and font changes. There is one issue: changing the font size resizes the button, but the icons are not reloaded. It causes KAnimatedButton to crash when enabling that code.

@Christoph: hi! what about the one issue left open on your commit comment???
FiNeX, this bug got CCed in r953953 because it fixed the "too high menu bar", but the actual request for the throbber moved back to toolbars is still open. There is chance for that to happen in 4.6 for the global D-Bus based menu bar. As for the follow-up commit to address the mentioned crash, see (the actual) bug 166593.
In Kubuntu's KDE 4.5.x version it is possible to have the throbber in the toolbar (addressbar). Finally it can be adjusted in size to the user's needs again, great. I hope this isn't only a Kubuntu hack. Alas in Kubuntu's Konqueror it is not possible to place the throbber at the right side of the search box. I hope when this enters KDE it will be possible to place the throbber as the most right element in the toolbar without the need to disable the search box.
