Hi, I have worked a little bit further. Now I have implented the small icons on the toolbars, like you suggested. I made it a little better, by making it possible to choose it in gconf-editor. Default it will show the icon only toolbar. But everyone can choose to change it in gconf-editor;-). file: ./src/yelp-window.c (at the beginning: line~70) add: /* gconf-editor */ #define KEY_YELP_DIR "/apps/yelp" #define KEY_YELP_TOOLBARE_STYLE KEY_YELP_DIR "/toolbar_style" static GConfClient *gconf_client = NULL; /* // */ file: ./src/yelp-window.c function: window_populate() search (~line 1278): gtk_toolbar_insert (GTK_TOOLBAR (toolbar), GTK_TOOL_ITEM (f_proxy), 0); gtk_toolbar_insert (GTK_TOOLBAR (toolbar), GTK_TOOL_ITEM (b_proxy), 0); add after: /* set icon only, but let it configurable through gconf-editor */ /* FIXME: don't change if yelp is open (use gconf_client_notify_add)*/ gconf_client = gconf_client_get_default (); gconf_client_add_dir (gconf_client, KEY_YELP_DIR, GCONF_CLIENT_PRELOAD_ONELEVEL, NULL); if(!gconf_client_get_int (gconf_client, KEY_YELP_TOOLBARE_STYLE, NULL)) { gconf_client_set_int (gconf_client, KEY_YELP_TOOLBARE_STYLE, GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS, NULL); } gtk_toolbar_set_style(GTK_TOOLBAR (toolbar), gconf_client_get_int (gconf_client, KEY_YELP_TOOLBARE_STYLE, NULL)); <div>On 2/28/07, Matthew Paul Thomas <<a href="mailto:mpt@myrealbox.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> mpt@myrealbox.com</a>> wrote:<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> [sent back to the list] On Mar 1, 2007, at 7:08 AM, hv1989 wrote: > ... > I appreciate your comments, although one of them isn't correct.

But the window would be more compact if we didn't have a sidebar at all. This is already true when reading man pages, for example. If the search field was put in the sidebar as you have done it, either the sidebar would need to be visible all the time, or the search wouldn't be available while you were reading a page that didn't have a table of contents. > ... > Also I think there's a difference, between changing the layout of the > article and changing the layout of the application.

Ah, if you want to change yelp itself, I have some suggestions there too. :-) I think it would be an improvement if the toolbar was always icons-only (so that the window is more compact), the "Search" field was aligned with the right end of the toolbar, and the search field shrank rather than disappearing when the window became narrower.
