Hide Dolphin Status bar? [SOLVED]

[themoodude]

Simple enough query yet I've been unable to find a definitive answer; is it possible to hide the status bar in Dolphin (1.6.1; KDE 4.6.1)?

Cheers,
Dean

Are you referring to the 'slider' bar at the bottom/right of Dolphin? If 'yes', with Dolphin running, click on Settings > Configure Dolphin... > General > Status Bar and uncheck both items.

I was referring to the entire status bar; not just the elements within it. I did find the options to remove the zoom slider and the free space monitor, however I would like to know if it's possible to remove the entire bar / panel.

I'm confused. The two items - slider and free space - at the bottom dolphin's display is all there is -- at that location of Dolphin. What do you mean by 'entire bar / panel'?

Well those 2 items, along with the total file count for the current folder reside in a coloured strip (the same colour as the panels and toolbars). Is it possible to hide the entire strip; so that the folder contents flows to the bottom edge of the window?


Basically I'm referring to the entire strip focussed here:

I'm going for this look; no bar at the bottom:

Is that possible?

I don't believe that can be done. There isn't a setting in Dolphin that would do so.

That's what I thought; having looked through all the settings I could find

Just wondered if there was a known method, be it a random hidden little setting somewhere, or some other obscure method. Thanks for your help mate, I appreciate it.

I know there's little point in hiding information; just sometimes I think it may look that bit less crowded with no bar along the bottom.

Thanks again dude!

it looks similar to me like when ruby wasn't enabled in the way that compiz fusion used to be done, The "windows" were without a border, often they "snapped" to a corner. They couldn't be moved with a mouse because of no border. One could work with it, and close it but not move it.
