I installed from debian repo

OS / DISTRIBUTION

debian 10

SUMMARY

The following screenshot (if no filenames) is what I want to achieve (default layout setup):

Hi, since I am a new user, I am not sure if these features are already implemented or not. I tried to check all Preferences and Configure this window options. So far I don't find a way to achieve it.

Regarding hiding Image window

There are three windows by default: Tools, Image, Files. Since I used to viewing thumbnails mode in feh and sxiv, the only window I am interested in is Files window here. I am OK to keep Tools window present, but Image window is just useless to me. I increase the thumnail size to 256x256 and then just check Files window should be enough. Whenever I want to access a particular image, I can use f to swtich to fullscreen to open it. Thus, I tried to hide Image window. I can temporarily drag the Image window to make it zero size hide it. But whenever I relaunch geeqie, the Image window comes out. Is there a way to disable the Image window or even the Tools window? I checked the Preferences, it has Remember window positions. Actually, I don't know what it is. But It doesn't remember all window positions at all to me. Otherwise, I can simply make those windows as size 0.

Regarding hiding file name in Files window

In Files window, each thumbnail icon has a filename underneath it. I would like to hide it completely. So far, I don't find a way to do it.

Regarding off-topic dark theme support?

Btw, one more question is not related to this question title. Does geeqie support dark theme/UI? I failed to find it too. Cheers.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Is there a way to disable the Image window

This is not possible. The closest you can get is select View/Files And Folders/Float File List. The Image window is now separate. Reduce its size to a minimum and arrange the windows so that it is under the main Geeqie window. If Remember Window Positions is set, when you restart Geeqie those window positions will be reinstated.

or even the Tools window

This is also not possible. Selecting View/Files And Folders/Hide Toolbar will remove some of the clutter.

In Files window, each thumbnail icon has a filename underneath it. I would like to hide it completely

In the Files pane right-click and deselect Show Filename Text.

Does geeqie support dark theme/UI?

Not explicitly. If you select, say Adwaita-dark, as a Desktop appearance, Geeqie will follow that.

@caclark Thanks a lot for the reply. If you think hiding windows can be supported in the future, you can leave this issue open as a feature request. If not, you can simply close it. Btw, I would like to have a dark theme if possible too. Thank you very much. :)

I don't know anything about theme usage (because I don't use them), but themes can be applied on a per-application basis by launching them e.g. GTK_THEME=Adwaita-dark geeqie

@caclark I have tried it, it didn't work on most of apps including geeqie. By googling, some people say this only works if (1) systems/apps using gtk3 version 3.12 or higher (2) the apps must honor the GTK_THEME env variable. But never mind, I finally changed my entire theme to dark one, Arc-Dark. All gtk apps are in dark theme now. I can not accept dark theme to all apps before, but these days, more and more adapt to it. Thank you very much.
