Description Luis Silva 2009-04-25 00:19:44 UTC

OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This is actually a wish for all the applications that use a tree/folder view. Most of the time, having a top-level is not at all usefull and a waste of space. With oxygen theme it is nearly the size of a scroll-bar. My proposal is that top level branch be removed both in kmail and akregator (and maybe other...) as seen in the mockups.

Oh! And this is also valid for the e-mail list. Tree branch expanders could be show inside the e-mail items and only when needed.

I'm not sure whether this is belongs to kdelibs
