Mageia forum

I'm pleased that Konqueror once more has a sidebar, which I'd always considered a must. But, in a minor way it's driving me mad. I've ticked in Settings, to have the sidebar, along wirh other factors, but when I close it down, and re-open it, the sidebar has to be selected again. I have in the toolbar an entry to open the sidebar, but why do I have to spend extra clicks for something I require as a permanent feature, as the old Konqueror had. Bookmarks, after all are a bit fundamental to browsing

I think you should ask upstream, and maybe you can find something by web search.

You're probably right, but Mageia forum is about the only one I have much experience with, and being next to the users, I thought that more people would be aware of the situation. I did locate the KDE forum, and while there did appear to be a lot of posts to it, I was unable to find any means of registering within it. Very strange that.Too, I found the forum extremely difficult mto read. It seems to have fallen into the modern concept of the written word, the low contrast, pastel colours, and micro fonts. For the first forty years of my working life, I was a design engineer draughtsman, in the field of production engineering, in the field of heavy commercial vehicles, and later in the manufacturen of heavy Diesel engines. In my apprenticeship, it was dinned into me that text should be at least a quarter of an inch high, in upper case and with the maximum of contrast to the background. The written word is a method of transmitting information, not a visual work of art. It does annoy me

I'm on your side there. I design/alter/repair machines and take panel interface design very seriously. Selection of words, careful to the point wording, logical arrangement, etc.

Apps in cell phones often are crap in this regard.

And the local bus stop sign is a large standing one times a half metre display, half of area empty except tiny numbers in a fancy circle showig time to next bus. They could scrap the graphics sand make number three times bigger to make them more visible for visual impaired people, and in long distance.
