# 3.2. The Parts of Konqueror

A brief look at the main parts of Konqueror's window:

The Titlebar is the strip across the top of Konqueror"s window, and operates in the same way as for other KDE applications. RMK on the central portion brings up the neat Titlebar RMK menu which, among other features, lets you change Konqueror's appearance (decoration).

The Menubar is the strip containing the names of the drop-down menus. LMK click on a name to alternately show and hide that menu, or you can use Alt + the underlined letter in the name as a hot key, for example Alt-E to show the Bewerken menu. The various menus are described in the Menubar section of this document.

The Toolbar contains icons for commonly used operations. Hover the mouse pointer over an icon to see a brief description of what that icon does, LMK click will activate the icon. RMK on a clear area of the Toolbar to bring up the Toolbar RMK Menu which will let you change the appearance and position of the Toolbar.

The Locationbar shows the path to the directory, URL or file being viewed. You can type a path or URL here and press Enter to go to it.

The Bookmarkbar is the area under the Locationbar in the previous screenshot. You can add frequently used bookmarks here

The Window is the main area of Konqueror and can show you the contents of a directory, a web page, or a document. Using the Venster menu you can split Konqueror's main window into one or more separate views, useful for drag and drop operations.

The Status Bar runs across the bottom of the window and gives general information about whatever the mouse pointer is hovering over. If you have split the main window into a number of view then you will get an Status Bar for each view, and it will include a small light at the left hand end to show which is the "active" view. RMK on the Status Bar brings up the Status Bar RMK Menu.

| Don't worry if your Konqueror doesn't look exactly like this screenshot, it is highly configurable and there is no "standard" way of setting it up. In particular: You can use the Instellingen menu to choose whether to show or hide the Menubar, Toolbar, Locationbar and Bookmarkbar. You can also "flatten" the Toolbar, Locationbar and Bookmarkbar by LMK clicking on the vertical lines at the left hand end of the bars or move them around by LMK dragging these bars.
