The Main Window

The KMyMoney main window consists of four major parts

  • A. The menu bar

  • B. The toolbar

  • C. The View selector

  • D. The view

The menu and toolbars provide access to the features of KMyMoney and allow you to Create files or configure how KMyMoney operates.

The view selector consists of at least eleven icons in the left side of the main window, depending upon the software provided by your system. More icons could be added by various plugins.
