How can I hide the component palette at the top of the Lazarus IDE?


I just installed the Lazarus IDE and I'm trying to make it feel the same as my Delphi IDE, but I have no idea how to hide the components at the top. I'm talking about the components here:

Lazarus IDE Component Palette

In the image above, you can see that I already have the components on the bottom right in a list, so I don't need them at the top also. I'm not able to find the setting to hide it at the top. Can someone point me to the setting please?


In the Delphi IDE, you can simply right-click and untick the "Component" option as can be seen here:

Delphi Programming IDE

But this option isn't available in the Lazarus IDE.


Solution

  • While taking screenshots for the post, I managed to find a way to hide it. So I'll answer my own question.


    1. Right-click on the component palette and choose "Options...":

      Lazarus IDE Component Palette

    2. Untick the "Palette is visible" checkbox:

      Lazarus Component Options


    And that's it. Now the top component palette is hidden.
