Description:

I've merged the following two KonquiSidebars into one,
by taking each one's advantage with slightly modified menus (eg. 'Start Here').
- axeljaeger's (original)
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7999
- scream's (scrolling up/down buttons)
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8014

All credits for this KonquiSidebar go to axeljaeger and scream!

--
This is not a forked version of the KonquiSidebar,
but just an easy to install/uninstall service for indolents like me.

To install, UNTAR IT AND RUN $ ./install, THAT'S ALL!
NO MORE CONFIGURATION IS NEEDED.

Now, run konqueror(webbrowsing mode) and then
you will see KonquiSidebar'ed konqueror as screenshots.

--
You can modify links in the KonquiSidebar
to your taste at ~/.sidebar/sidebar.html.

(* NOTE
The vfolder protocol only works on RedHat,
so, you might replace these vfolder links to
your distribution's menu directories, such as
/usr/share/applnk-mdk or something else. *)


Have fun with the KonquiSidebar!

It uses crystal by default!
While I'm a devoted crystal fan I think many users would like it to use the icons they have KDE set up with. This shouldn't be too hard to do.

I'll post a screen in a few here.

Thanks and I could use some input on what the default apps should be.

My version will add a My Linux icon to the desktop and is a link to my control profile (Modified sidebar konq. profile)
Instead of the right window being a webpage I will have a KDE Control window with easy access to common used apps for the desktop, Like colors, window dec, background, etc....

Look for a post today and let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
FTZ

Is there any reason I cant make my own sidbar based on this version?
I think this is a very cool idea and would like to make my own version based off this.

Thanks,

1. It would be nice if icon sizes could be variables. (Right now there seem to be 3 categories - arrow-size, title icons, and the sub-entries)

2. Is there any way to set the initial state of a "box", i.e open or closed?

Good work, Thanks!

Are there any other changes to the sidebar or is it just the install script?

based on axeljaeger's sidebar, I adopted your sidebar's up/down buttons.
- changed user specific directories, like /home/scream,
to be independent links(relative path) for convenience' sake.
- added a ready made konqueror webbrowsing profile
to use with the install script for KonquiSidebar.

No new functionality added, just for indolent like me. :)

I edited most of the sidebar.html file in ~/.sidebar successfully. What is the vfolder for? I get "protocol not supported" when trying to use that to open Applications. Note: on the install, I had to cp all the 'make install' files to /usr/share/apps and /usr/lib/kde3/ b/c Mandrake doesn't have it setup to use /usr/local/kde/.
cheers,

btw, Mandrake 9.1

"I had to cp all the 'make install' files to /usr/share/apps and /usr/lib/kde3/ b/c Mandrake doesn't have it setup to use /usr/local/kde/."

Just run ./configure like this next time:
./configure --prefix=/usr

That will have it install in /usr instead of /usr/local :)

sorry but vfolder:/ is the RedHat specific protocol for easy accessibility to menus.
In Mandrake, for example, you can link the 'Applications' menu
to the '/usr/share/applnk-mdk/' directory. Thanks.
