           Summary: Chat window has too many icons on toolbars by default
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: barbieri gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

About 2 years ago I reported this inside a bigger bug report, but it got closed 
because it was to "general". Since nothing was done related to Chat Window so 
far, I'm opening this bug. You may refer to my first bug #92966.

My kopete chat window, with just "Main Toolbar" has, in order:
 - Save  [not often used]
 - Print [not often used]
 - Cut   [?]
 - Copy  [?]
 - Paste [?]
 - Smiles
 - Back (log)
 - Next (log)
 - Enable Rich Text
 - Spell Check
 - Kopete Animation

First icons (Save, Print), as stated before, are not often used, at least the 
vast majority of 20-50 people I've asked said so. Note that there is no 
functionality is lost: these still can be accessed from Chatwindow Menu and 
possible add these icons using "Customize Toolbar".

Cut, Copy and Paste are useful, but I wonder how useful it is. KMail does have 
it in its composer window. KWord als does. So maybe it's ok to have it on 
Kopete, however I personally don't like it. Also, Henrique post is about Kdict, 
not Kopete toolbar :-/

Worse than before, there is no way to remove Save and Print buttons from 
"Customize Toolbar" anymore!


I don't use "Format Toolbar" myself, however I do also think it could be 
simplified and split into "Format" and "Advanced Format", with the former 
containing just Bold, Italic, Underline, Colors; Advanced would hold font 
settings and alignment. This would leave enough space to enable Main and Format 
to fit into a single toolbar line.

A problem that were not in my first bug report but did show after KDE 3.5.3 is 
the tab in chatwindow. Before It just show when I had more than one tab, right 
now it shows always! However I just group chats from same meta contact in one 
chatwindow... so often I just have one tab... and it takes space and looks ugly 
:-(

Thanks!
