V3.5.2 - How to enable a menu bar?

[chrisjj]

First, thanks for the program!

My question. How do I enable a main menu bar? Currently (default install), main menu is under a hamburger button - to save space that does not need saving here, since I have an excess of tis which I would like to be used for a standard WIG menu bar.

No answer found in previous discussions here or Help.

Thanks.

The core viewer is Multi-format MuPDF which is one page frame and has no real GUI such as menu tabs scrolling bars etc.

SumatraPDF adds a menu and scrollbars to pages larger than a single frame

and a single line toolbar

Alternately (by default) can be tabbed or switch tabs OFF and restart in menu mode

What is a single frame please?

[GitHubRulesOK]

When fit a single page is active the placement can be any size and scrollbars detract from that working area.
Clearly not a problem for users with modern large monitors but for mobile or legacy use the canvas area was designed to be single framed.

Here shown in one of a few modern browsers with fit page active.

Admittedly now a rarer situation with mainstream browsers like Chrome or Firefox that dont support SumatraPDF as a plug-in. But many users still utilise SumatraPDF.EXE as a core viewer within their applications or smaller devices.

Thanks, but still I do not know what is meant by single frame.

Clearly not a problem for users with modern large monitors but for mobile or legacy use the canvas area was designed to be single framed.

So, the only option available for modern large monitors is one designed for m9bike and legacy?

I am not using a browser. I am using the SumatraPDF exe.

Two alternative Windows light-weight viewers that behaved similar (no scrollbar in non continuous single frame) but have more GUI options are Okular so here my latest is fairly old (about version 2019:03/2019:04 so later should have more menus including sound and dark screen features and unknown if they added different scroll behaviour) and XDF latest 2024 shown is 4.05

Most of the simpler viewers are based on MuPDF or xPDF and thus have very similar core PDF rendering functions of no scroll in fit a single (non-continuous) page or have widely differing GUI enhancements around those framed engines.

Thanks but I was asking about just SumatraPDF.
