Accidentally deleted the original post.
Hi Folks, first post here! First of all thank you for all the help. I’ve been reading posts by others for months as I’ve been slowly picking up Obsidian. I think it’s the best thing that ever happened to my note taking, but it’s just been hard to sustain using it. There is so much potential and customization to it. Anyways, back to my question…
What similar information I found on the forum
I can’t include links here for some reason but I found these topics on the forum. (Remove the dots below).

What I’m trying to do
I’m trying to combine the tab bar and the file bar together. I find it redundant and taking up too much space on my screen when multitasking. Here are photos of what I’m trying to remove.
See how in the image above the first rectangle has “Start Here x” The second rectangle below that has “<- → Start Here”, and obviously the title of the note shows up again in the note itself saying “Start Here”.
What I would ideally like to have is “<- → Start Here x” all in the first top bar with the different tabs. I’m not sure if this will ruin any functionality. But I think it will be ok for markdown files, graph views, and canvases. I’m not sure this will work with websites though. Here’s another screenshot for each to show you what I mean.
Markdown
Graph
Canvas
Website
The issue with websites here is that it has a url. So I’m not sure how that will get sorted. Maybe if I click on the tab, I can see the url expand in a pop up that disappears when not needed?
For the example of the first screenshot. My gripe is that I don’t want to “Start Here” three times. It’s redundant and a bit annoying. I’d be happy with seeing “Start Here” twice. But I would love to hear if there are any creative ideas to see only one “Start Here”.
Things I have tried
I’ve tried the css in the other posts I linked at the top here, but I haven’t been able to modify them to do what I want.
Thank you everyone!
