Hi.
Does anyone know if there is any way to remove the tool bars permanently?
I would like to remove all the tool bars and leave only the menu but when I open a file they show up automatically.
I have some tools for ruby so if I open a ruby file the tools tool bar is activated as well.
I really don't want that to happen.

Thanks

as addition:
- there is an option to disable "Main Menu" too
- so i am able to disable all menu items, having an full sized text area.

My question is: how can i bring the main menu back?
Shouldn't there be such option?  (context menu?)

An work around i just discover is to use F12 (Web Preview) which brings back
the "web menu" from where i was able to enable "main menu" again.
BTW: if i close web preview.... the menu is still there .... i mean i have disabled all menus,
but after using web preview the menu didn't disappears again too.

Add 3) 
I have configured HE with "main menu" enabled  only.
Then i save this as new WorkSpace.
But after switching workspaces the menus are shown again.
Isn't this stored with workspace too? I guess it's related with the issue you want to fix too.

Hi Stefan,

not everything is a bug :) Something was designed to be like it behaves.
For example when you swtich views, from Web Browser to Text editor, I hide browser toolbar and show editor toolbar automatically. And vice versa. Because normally you do not need them both.

Now the question: what to do with this smartness, if user has closed the toolbat manually? Or called None? Shell I disable automatic showing of the toolbar next time?
So, somehow I also need to distingush, is hiding of the toolbar was automatic or manual done by user.

With hiding of main menu... it is very difficult to do such "defence" everywhere... What I can design is only some shortcut to toggle only main menu. Because all other methods would require a lot of time for some artifical case...
