Did > you install the KDEAddOns package? I have that installed, but I think you have "Tab Page Mode" mixed up with the "Tab Bar Extension" which are definitely not one in the same. In the old ~/.kde/share/config/katerc there was the following option: DefaultGUIMode=3 That's what set the mode instead of IDEAL mode. Restoring my old config file didn't work either. If you look at the link I made you'll notice things like the built in terminal, find in files, and projects don't show up anywhere. Only the filesystembrowser and the documents are available since they're all I use. Under IDEAL mode there is no way I know of to stack two items at the same time on the same side (see screenshot) and COMPLETELY hide things that I'm never going to use. So I guess it just goes back to my original questions... except I'd like to add one more. Is there a list more specific to kate somewhere? Joshua ___________________________________________________ .
