Hi all,
we migrated from 3.7 to 4.2 using the Compatibility Layer.
After the migration all of our views have now a toolbar even though there is no content, it's taking too much place and looks weird with an empty bar.
Is there a way to disable this? We don't want to completely wire if off by patching the eclipse code because some of our view do have toolbar actions and menus

Widen your stack on the right -- it's clearly narrower than the one on the left.

You might be able to adjust the sizes by writing your own CTabFolder renderer, but beware: there be dragons in that code.

Brian,

Hi Brian,
Isn't the problem in the CompatibilityView? it creates by default a toolbar
I found this link meanwhile:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/e4-dev/msg05033.html

I patched the CompatibilityView and it works, but the problem now is just that all views don't have toolbars. So writing a own renderer is the only option?

Your toolbar is wrapping as there isn't enough space -- if you widen your view, the toolbar will snap back up to the top line.

Hi Brian,
yes I know what you mean, that's why I took a screenshot with both cases, but wrapping is a eclipse feature.
By widen the views doesn't change the fact that there is still a toolbar.
Maybe you are confused by the triangle view menu?this is just another bug for me with CNF when migrating to 4.2 because the view menu is empty.
I think we are going to patch the CompatibilityView by wiring the toolbar and menubar off, don't know if this is the right approach though.

Oh! I thought you were asking about why it was wrapping. Sorry!
