Removal of the tab bar

davidvontamar
Hello,

I cannot find any setting to hide the tab bar.

Is there some hack I can do in order to remove the tab bar in Zotero 7?

I recall that with Firefox I used to modify or remove different parts of the UI with CSS files.

I'm using Debian.

    But it doesn't work with Zotero 7

    +1. It takes space and I have never had more than one tab open. Please make it possible to hide, or even auto-hide it when there is only one tab.

    +1. It would be nice to toggle the tab bar and the toolbar when reading web pages or pdfs, as it makes for a more immersive experience.

    I have created a plugin that can hide both the tab bar as well as the annotation toolbar.

    PLEASE add an option to hide the tab bar. Such a waste of space. A whole bar, just to redundantly say My Library.

    Just to be clear, the tab bar is…for tabs. It's where PDFs, EPUBs, and snapshots open. If you're never opening files, or only opening all three file types externally, you might not ever have more than one tab currently, but in future versions it will be possible to open other things in tabs (e.g., notes) and open tab groups via the tabs menu (which is also in the bar), so hiding it permanently wouldn't make sense. Auto-hiding it when there's only one tab could be possible (if tab-group functionality was also accessible from a menu), but we don't think it's really worth having the whole UI jump every time you open something in a tab. Future versions will also support opening multiple windows, and even a single tab serves as a title bar in that case.

    Being able to hide the tab bar and toolbar when in full-screen mode is a separate matter. Firefox has a "Hide Toolbars" context-menu option when in full-screen mode that moves those off the top of the screen, except when you move the cursor to the top, and that works pretty well, so we're likely to do something like that.

    I use Zotero strictly as a bibliography manager. I have other tools that I prefer for taking notes, reading pdfs, etc. I understand you want to push the functionality of Zotero in that direction, but in the meanwhile it would still be good to be able to hide parts of the UI that some people don't need.
