But somewhere I saw something about making the sidebar go away, too. Look in Window > Tool Views > Hide Sidebars or just alt-ctrl-shift-F to get rid of them. I think there must be a way to make the sidebar go away permanently, as well. There is yet another possible way to get rid of even the menubar, but that would mean going into the window settings, and I have found that trying to apply it to a specific application gives very mixed results. Sometimes you will find those same changes applied to other application windows, where you did not want them. If you are brave or foolhardy, however, then right-click at the top of kate's window, in the title border, Advanced > Special Application Settings > Window Extra. It seems that it is possible to configure even those borders and toolbars to go away, but good luck getting them back. I like to do a lot of special window configurations, to make applications open in specific desktops, for example, or to use workarounds like focus stealing prevention, but I haven't had much luck using those settings to suppress part of a window's appearance. I doubt that's possible, at least not without messing up other applications. In any case, except for the sidebar, that's how it looks for me when I open, the click to start a new session. Bill
