GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 254097
ability to hide toolbars & single toolbar items
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:33:58 UTC
It'd be nice if Evolution offered the possibility to remove some of the icons on the 'icons toolbar' (i.e. the toolbar with new, send/receive, reply, reply all,...) to unclutter the screen and enhance usuability (I personally have no need for the 'reply' button, only the 'reply all', but I hit it most of the time by accident. I'm sure others have things like this, too). Also, being able to remove certain toolbars would be useful (especially for those who don't have huge screens ;-)). For example, the search toolbar to search in a folder is wasted space IMHO. An option to disable it (in the view menu for example) would be great. Ditto for the "<name of folder> x new, x selected, x total" toolbar. Maybe this already exists in the development version, I don't know that... I use Evolution 1.4.5 on Gentoo GNU/Linux. TIA!

Perhaps something like the new toolbar code in epiphany?
you can disable the toolbar, the preview pane/message pane and the component buttons in 2.1.4. at least disabling the search bar has been requested in bug 211802. only the "<name of folder> x new, x selected, x total" thing and the status bar with the online/offline connector are still always shown; and you want single items to remove. adding dependency: this one depends on bug 211802.
disabling the folder bar is bug 269411.
disabling the status bar is bug 307780

Simply replacing the physical "junk" icons is not enough. We need to be able to completely remove the options from the tool bar AND have the option of sliding delete somewhere off by itself. Placing Junk and Delete next to each other with confusing icons was an all around bad idea. It confuses the hell out of senior citizens.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
