Regardless, "I Hate The Cashew" and "PyCashew" will both hide it if its that big of a dealAll opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

Originally posted by Maxjen View PostThanks, but I knew that already. It is also possible to hide it under the taskbar. But when will there be a default option to disable it?
Yes, I actually do like KDE, but this one thing really bothers me. Why is there an ugly toolbox which serves no purpose that I can't disable without installing 3rd party software.All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

A lot of those settings ARE also available under right click but with the push to mobile its stupid to assume that there will always be a "right click" available and its smart to keep a dedicated button there for those cases.

[?] this one thing really bothers me.
As you are aware: It IS possible to hide the toolbox.
Just because KDE software is very configurable, does it not mean that all options have to be accessible by the UI. You can edit plasma-desktop-appletsrc by hand if you like.
Whether or not to disable the toolbox by default is ? as always ? the distributor?s choice!

I really think I shouldn't have to research on the internet and install something just to have a clean desktop. And I am not alone. There is actually a very old bug requesting such an option and the only reason given why it wasn't implemented was:

seriously, give us a couple of releases so you all actually start to be able to see what we're working towards.

and finally, no, you probably don't know what the toolbox is intended for and no i'm not going to sit here and write pages explaining it. there is purpose to it, you'll see it as the code emerges. explaining it beforehand is not going to resolve the situation any faster.

watch how things evolve, by all means. you won't be disappointed. perhaps that makes it a bit more frustrating too: we're working to get everything in place where everyone can be happy and while we do so people continue to waste time with these discussions as if nothing is happening.
This was 5 years ago and unfortunately there is still no apparent purpose to the toolbox except for mobile devices where you don't have a mouse.(and I am sure probably 90% of KDE users don't use such a device)
