    Need more screen space.
    « on: January 20, 2009, 07:23:58 AM »
    I am wondering if I can get more screen space by getting rid of some of the grey bars at the top of the screen, its just a waste of space as far as I am concerned. (See photo)

    Try to right click on the bars you want to disable and uncheck them..

    Right click the toolbar in Firefox and select "use small icons"...

    Close-

    right-click and empty portion of the toolbar, select "Customize..." and click the "use small icons" checkbox.


    if you REALLY want to have maximum screen space, try going fullscreen (F11)

    There's a firefox addon that condenses the toolbars, looks nice, and takes up a lot less space. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3699 and download that theme.

      That second gray bar (it looks blank in your screenshot) is probably your Bookmarks Toolbar.  You can drag a tab into it to save a bookmark, and/or put your favorite bookmarks in that area for quick access.

      To turn it off, go to "View" in your menu, point to "Toolbars", and just uncheck it.

        Thank you everyone for the input. Lots of good ideas for what I wanted to do.


        BC_Programmer and Hunter484 each had the solution I was looking for.

        Hunter484's comment was what I wanted to do and BC_Programmer's F11 comment, was even better and gave me a huge useable desktop space thanks heaps.
