How to completely hide Thunar's toolbar and menu bar

Hey there!
I'm trying to hide the menu bar on Thunar, but when I do it, I get three dots appearing on the left of the toolbar, like in the picture below. I get why these dots appear and I get that it's useful to have an option to show the menu again, but I'm fine with CTRL + M, so I'd like to hide it since because of this button I can't hide the toolbar. I can't see an option to disable it anywhere, so how can I do it? With css maybe?
Thank you.

Hello and welcome.

See: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/936.

You might be able to use css, but it won't pass all cases and it will look/work inconsistently. Something like:

toolbutton:first-child image {-gtk-icon-transform: scale(0);}
toolbar entry {margin-left: -30px}

...but the button is still press-able and if you enable the menu, it throws off the positioning.

On the other hand:

toolbutton:first-child image {-gtk-icon-transform: scale(0);}

...just makes the image invisible, but still press-able and there is a visible space there.

Hey, thank you very much for you response.

So there isn't a way to completely hide the entire toolbar?

Too bad!

View > Configure Toolbar and you can remove items. You just can't currently remove the menu button if the menu is not shown.
