Don't show social links in menu bar

[claell]

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
When first using JabRef, I was slightly annoyed (yes, that is how it felt to me) by the social buttons inside the main menu bar. This does not look very professional to me and might consume useful space on smaller displays.

Describe the solution you'd like
Remove them by default, possibly add an option to show them again in case somebody wants them to be displayed there.

Additional context

On my small screen these buttons are actually the ones outside my screen:

Nice! :-)

but yes, I agree, they could potentially be inside the "help" menu.

[claell]

They already seem to be inside the help menu (JabRef resources).

This seems to be a good first issue and I'm interested in working on this, can I give a shot?

if we fix this, probably #8781 will also be fixed. Seems like we already have them in the Help Menu, Removing them from the tool bar would be a good solution for the small size window issues.

@Beingmani thanks for your interest in this.

I assume, that you can start working on this. Ideally, create a draft PR, so you can get early feedback and others are aware that you are working on it (apart from assigning you to this issue).

[ThiloteE]

Thank you Beingnami :-)

As a general advise: check out https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md for a start. Also, https://devdocs.jabref.org/getting-into-the-code/guidelines-for-setting-up-a-local-workspace is worth having a look at. Feel free to ask if you have any questions here on GitHub or also at JabRef's Gitter chat.

That sounds interesting, and I'd like to try deleting it straight away. It doesn't seem too difficult. Can I have a try?

[Beingmani]

Hey, @Css22 I've already worked on it and will be raising a PR soon.

I've fixed it and made a few changes with the CSS which will fix this issue.

[Css22]

Sorry, I just saw it. I will not continue to work for this issue. I have made some changes to the DOI that I hope will help you @Beingmani.

Thanks for your interest in JabRef, we'll discuss your proposal to remove the social tool bar buttons in the next devcall.

[ThiloteE]

In the devcall, we decided to move forward with a less intrusive solution of #8798. That solution works perfect in window sizes equal to 1280x960 or bigger than that. For smaller window sizes, some buttons will only show via clicking on the arrow at the right side, starting with Github.

Alright, that is at least an improvement :) I guess that I can live with that, as there always needs to be a compromise.
