# Chapter 7. Configuring Konqueror

In common with the rest of KDE, Konqueror is highly configurable, so you can really get the look and feel that best fits your needs and wishes.

# 7.1. Changing Bars

When KDE is newly installed, Konqueror's window contains a Menubar, a Toolbar, a Locationbar and possibly a Bookmark Toolbar.

- Maybe you don't need all these bars. To hide one of them, go into the Settings menu and uncheck its box. To show a hidden bar, just check the box.

- On the left hand end of each bar you can see some vertical lines. By left mouse button clicking on them, you "flatten" the bar, meaning that it is hidden but can be quickly restored by clicking on the now horizontal lines.

- You can also drag a bar into a new position with these lines.

- If you right mouse button click on the Toolbar or the Bookmark Toolbar, you will get a menu to configure this bar. You can choose the orientation, text position and icon size

| If you hide the Menubar, you won't be able to access the Settings menu! To restore it, right mouse button click on the view and check Show Menubar.

The icons shown in the various bars can be changed by using the Settings->Configure Toolbars... option, which brings up the Configure Toolbars Dialog Box which lets you change the icons in

- The Main Toolbar <Konqueror>.

- The locationToolBar <Konqueror>. There's not really much point in changing this.

- The Main Toolbar <khtmlpart>. This normally contains the Increase and Decrease Font Sizes and Security icons that are only displayed when Konqueror is in Browser mode.

Note that you can rearrange the position of buttons in a Toolbar by clicking on the up and down arrow buttons.
