<![CDATA[Hide Top Bar]]>Add an option to hide the top bar, to free up useful space for widgets.

When the top bar is hidden, all of its controls should be accessible in a different way:

  • project switcher - via the main menu, and the tray menu (already done)
  • manage projects - via the main menu (already done)
  • shelf items - via a small area at the right side of the workflow tabs area
  • edit mode toggle - via the main menu (already done)

Top Bar, Project Switcher Position, Edit Mode Toggle Position will be configurable via Main Menu -> View -> Appearance. I agree that the proposed compact view (as on the screenshot above) will be a better fit for most use cases, so Freeter will have the default configuration to display the components exactly that way:

  • Top Bar = Hidden
  • Project Switcher Position = Tab Bar (Right)
  • Edit Mode Toggle Position = Tab Bar (Right)

To have the UI look as in Freeter <=2.6, the View -> Appearance settings should be:

  • Top Bar = Visible
  • Project Switcher Position = Top Bar
  • Edit Mode Toggle Position = Top Bar

The update is not released yet. Still finalizing things and working on other features. Hopefully will release it in a few days.
