Feature Request (or bug?) : Toolbar with title

[Opus]

Hello,
when a toolbar is not docked, I think it would be clearer if the toolbar have a title (with a close button), like this:

What do you think about?

I am not convinced. I see that many users here install FreeCAD on a laptop. There it is important to save as much space as possible for the 3D view where actually the modellling takes place.

It is the case already for me. I guess it depends on your desktop config...

Bug specific to Windows 10 ?

No, it's the same on Ubuntu based on Unity or GNOME 3. In fact, it's been like this as far as I can remember, I thought this was normal.

Yorik, what's your current desktop environment? I thought you were using GNOME 3 too?

Unfortunately there is no standard way to achieve this in Qt ATM. If there would be i guess i could add such option to:

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 10#p212848

P.S. I read some discussions and some partially working workarounds were mentioned. But that only worked by chance and it stop working in Qt5.

Thanks Triplus,
I didn't know this add-on, I will test it.

Thanks Triplus,

Yes, I was looking for toolbar names myself when I started using FreeCAD (link is below). But now that I've learned a bit more, if toolbar names were to be shown in the toolbar, I'd like a way to turn the names off in order to save a bit of vertical display space (which is at a premium on my screens).

it's been like this as far as I can remember, I thought this was normal.

For me it's been without title bar names ever since I joined the forum back in 2013 (using Windows XP) and I wondered about that myself back then:
