Console is not showing the menu bar or the toolbar!
Those of you who are in love with the Console2′s interesting feats, but on windows sometimes fall into ditches, as usual, here is a problem I ran into before doing the following twick.
I installed the console in a windows box, but couldn’t see its menu, neither it’s toolbar! Tried to find any related issues by googling online but now help.
At last I thought, let me have a look into the console.xml which contains the runtime configurations. And I found this:
<controls show_menu=“0” show_toolbar=“0” show_statusbar=“0” show_tabs=“1” hide_single_tab=“0” show_scrollbars=“0”/>
Bingo! Just what I was looking for. The Console started functioning normal again after I have changed the above to the following:
<controls show_menu=“1” show_toolbar=“1” show_statusbar=“1” show_tabs=“1” hide_single_tab=“1” show_scrollbars=“1”/>
Voila!
Hope this helps those who may need it in a hurry

I forgot to mention the easy way first
, sorry — you can also go to the settings by pressing
Ctrl+Safter running theConsole2window.
On the search I found these invaluable articles in different sites. Have a look you might find something more interesting there
