How to remove top line breadcrumb in intellij idea editor?

Question

I\'m having an issue figuring out this display bar in IntelliJ Idea Community Edition 15.

Does anyone know what this is and/or how to turn it off?

Answer 1

It is known as the breadcrumb menu for current code position. For example in your image you are in the position of class Display -> method Display() (constructor) -> member anonymous ActionListner -> method actionPerformed() -> member anonymous SwingWorker. (should be verified)

To disable it from showing, Go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Appearance

And Find and un-tick 'Show breadcrumbs'.

You might need to restart the editor, to take this effect into action.
