+Append Toolbar to the Menu
+**************************
+
+The popularity of the netbook means that many people are looking at screens
+which are less than the desktop PC sizes of 15 inch and above. A netbook's
+screen format is usually widescreen, so vertical space is more limited than
+horizontal space. If you navigate to Edit > Preferences you'll find an option
+titled "Append Toolbar to the Menu". Checking this option will result in the
+toolbar being moved from below the menu bar to beside it, resulting in more
+vertical space being available.

+Other screen-space-saving tips
+******************************
+
+Geany has several other options which increase the amount of room available
+for the editing pane. In the View menu you'll find an option titled "Toggle
+all Additional Widgets" which hides all elements of the user interface except
+for the menu bar and scrollbars. Also in the View menu is an option titled
+"Fullscreen" which maximises the Geany window to take up the entire screen,
+also turning off the window's titlebar and borders. This view can be
+especially useful if you want to minimise distractions from other
+applications.
