I restored the K-Meleon window and resized it to fit the entire screen, but without any extra space at the bottom. This brought back the taskbar function.
UPDATE: Oops! ....
I had to shrink the browser window back further until the space at the bottom was equal to the size of the taskbar to see the whole thing, so nothing gained there.
Not here. Are you sure it's not maximized?
Of course it also could be our different systems, since mine *always* needs the tiny space at bottom to pop up the taskbar.
There are also some
window size startup settings which can be customized, in
F2 > GUI Appearance > Tab Startup
===========
Tip: If anyone wants to
CREATE A MENU ENTRY for toggling window size, it goes like this:
(Menu Edit > Configuration > Menus // this opens the cfg file in editor.
Prob: this changes only the current profile menu, but we'd rather have it in all profiles, and am also not sure if the bug with rebarmenu-buttons is fixed already, so lets edit the original default menu for all profiles: )
Open file
c://programs(or wherever you have KM installed)/
K-Meleon/browser/defaults/settings/menus.cfg"
(If not sure where to find it, click menu Edit > Configuration > Macros, then navigate one step higher)
Make a backup copy of this file, named e.g. menus_ori.cfg
At the bottom of menus.cfg add something like this:
Quote
#========= MINE ==========
!Toolbars{
-
Minimize Window=ID_MINIMIZE_WINDOW
Toggle Maximized=ID_TOGGLE_WINDOW
}
===========
The "-" line is optional, it creates a separator line.
And the LEFT text is free text, rename as you wish.
As always in KM users can place those new menu lines into any parent menu they wish
The example above uses
!Toolbars (in View menu near top)
Some alternative or additional suggestions:
!Close (in File menu at bottom, possibly also right-click on close-tab-button)
!New (in File menu next to NewTab/NewWindow, possibly also right-click on new tab button)
!NavWindow (in File menu, next to Next/Previous Window)
!&File (somewhere in File menu)
!Tool&bars (in View > Toolbars popup menu)
!Compact Menu (for skins with hidden menu toolbar, on the gear-icon)
======
(Just as gimmick for advanced users:
the position can be fine-tuned by saying "place before", by adding | and either another command, or the name of another command in menu, or name of a submenu. Condition being those are in the same parent menu already, a bit tricky, but can be checked in menus.cfg. Example
!&File{
Toggle Maximized=ID_TOGGLE_WINDOW|NavWindow
Better yet, create a submenu (all names are free text):
Window Size{
Minimize Window=ID_MINIMIZE_WINDOW
Toggle Maximized=ID_TOGGLE_WINDOW
}
!&File{
!Window Size|OpenSave
}
Of course, a macro could also be used to create menu lines, that's perhaps a bit more complicated but on the other hand allows to create and show a Toggle-Titlebar command too.
