Konqueror config file: disable menu bar

To disable the menu bar in konqueror, you have a specific action in menus. If you want to do this by hand, just add the following directive in your ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc file:

[KonqMainWindow]
MenuBar=Disabled

This tip is interresting because you can also apply it for any KDE application that doesn’t support this feature.

For exemple, in kmail, you can add the “MenuBar=Disabled” statement in “[Main Window]” section: this will have the same effect as in konqueror.

  1. Unfortunately, I could not get this method to work. However, the following dcop statement works well:

    dcop `dcop konqueror-01234 konqueror-mainwindow#1 action fullscreen` activate
    

    Please note:

    1. 01234 is the process id.
    2. using the ` character, which is located on the same key as ~ character
  2. Thanks Jason to share this with us !

    I think that my solution depend of the Konqueror version. At the time I wrote this blog post, I was using Konqueror 3.4.2 (the one in Mandriva 2006).
