Fullscreen on 2nd Display, remove menu bar?

This may seem picky, but it actually affects a lot of my day.
I have dual monitors, and often play video or use Parallels for work on my 2nd display, but then work natively in OS X on my 1st display. Regardless of what I'm working in, if I am trying to work in full screen on the 2nd monitor, I always see the faded menu at the top. If I click on to the fullscreen content of the 2nd monitor, the menu goes away, but if I am actively working in something on the 1st monitor, it reappears on the 2nd monitor.
This sounds small, but means that I can't fullscreen anything unless I stop working and click on to the 2nd monitor.
Any thoughts on how to remove that? It's incredibly annoying.
Thanks,

A neat example, which works well on OS X is given here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/example-1dot4/DisplayModeTest.java
I also suggest this link for further explanations:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/example.html
Finally, I'd like to mention that because of the nature of exclusive full screen mode and possibly an implementation error on Macintosh, contextual menus (Popup menus) may not work as expected. I observed two behaviors:
- contextual menu are simply not drawn or not visible
or
- once a popup menu is closed, the screen turns black
I have devised a rather short pure-Java work-around which solves both problems, and is multi-platform friendly.

  • Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick

    Hi, Can i Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick ?
    Thanks

    Apple has sort of screwed up the whole full-screen / multi-screen features of OSX. I get it's hard to achive it all in a "perfect way" for everyone but the so called "improved" multi-screen features of 10.9 add a number of issue on top of the "fixes".
    1. Switching between apps with CMD + TAB is bugged with using 10.9 screen-setup. The OS doesn't understand what screen I'm using and the CMD + TAB feature shows up on screen 1 or screen 2. The only way I've found to controll this is by activating the DOCK on either screen which is a very bad solution.
    2. Spotlight searching always follows the "active" screen. At least 10.9 understands what screen is my active one but in this case I never ever want screen 2 to have Spotlight on it. Very irriting.
    3. Remembering application positions. If I open an app from the dock on screen 1, place it on screen 2 close it and again open it from the dock on screen 1 the app will open on screen 1 and not screen 2. Some apps will remember certain windows on the correct display. A solution is to open the app from the dock on the display you want it on. Very irritiating.
    4. Swiching between apps is also bugged. Concider I have mail on screen 2 and a new mail window on screen 1. I CMD + TAB to Safari on screen 2 after starting to write the new mail on screen 1. No problems here. If I now howvever CMD + TAB back to mail, the last active window (new mail window on screen 1) won't be active. Very irritating.
    As noted above, going back to what we had in 10.7 and 10.8 solves these issues but doesn't solve Apples horrible fullscreen app issues. I'd go as far as saying Apple hasn't really fixed anything in 10.9 - only cause more issues and confusing behavoir. Fullscreen apps are often very lacking in funktion, having safari or mail fullscreen renders them on a large screen very very limited compared to "maximized". It's also very confusion that you are required to travel between virtual desktops to use full-screen apps. I personally would prefer the option of "layered fullscreen apps". For example VLC allows me to work this way.

  • How to remove menu bar for a single tcode

    Hi,
    I created a Transaction iview with gui for html and now i  want to deactive menu bar for a single tcode.
    I'am able to remove menubar by passing parameter in Webgui but it will remove menu bar for all.
    Can anybody provide me solution.
    With regards,
    Pradeep.B

    Hi,
    It's really possible. You can define an ITS service on your R/3 and apply parameter ~WEBGUI_SIMPLE_TOOLBAR. With this parameter you can hide all bars, using different values (3 bits). You can use, for example, value 132.
    After that, you define an IAC iview on your portal with your ITS service.
    Hope this helps,
    Iván.

    You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar.  Hovering didn't do it.  Thanks for your help.  First time in Apple Support.

    Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar

    Also see DejaMenu
    Also see MenuEverywhere (Shareware)
    And if you happen to have a Magic Trackpad, the SecondBar author has a very nice BetterTouchTool utility for creating Magic Trackpad gestures.  I can not live with out BetterTouchTool on my 27" iMac with 24" external monitor.

  • Mirroring doesn't display in menu bar even with option checked

    I have my late 2011 MacBookPro hooked up to an external monitor to extend my workspace at the office.  I can go into Displays in the System Preferences and choose to mirror displays.  When I check the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available", no menu bar option shows up.  Worked perfectly fine pre-Mavericks.
    How can I get the display menu bar options to display on this laptop?
    Thanks

    Have a look in:
    [Your HD]/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/
    for "Bluetooth.menu" and try double-clicking it.

  • Mirror display no menu bar

    Hello,
         I have a mac mini with no thunderbolt port.  I am using DVI to monitor and HDMI to HDTV for a mirror display.  The TV does not show the menu bar at the top of the screen.  The TV does not have any size adjustment options.  The underscan option in system preference is greyed out.  The menu bar does show on the monitor  What do I need to do on the mac mini to get the menu bar to show on the TV?
    Scott

    With what is Happening, & I don't know why since I do not have the same equipment & circumstances, is to use Extended Displays & change the monitor that has the Menubar before they move one, another possibility if you can't get warning is to set up an Admin user for each Monitor situation.

  • Looking for a way to hide/collapse the display of menu bar items

    I've searched the web but I cannot find any utilities that would allow me to hide the items on my menu bar, which is getting a bit cluttered. Particularly when some programs are running, if those programs have a certain number of drop down menus, the menus on the right hand side overlay some of the left side menu bar icons. It would be nice to be able to collapse & un-collapse the menu bar icons when desired.
    Not really a problem on my PowerMac which has a 23" display, but moreso on my 15" MBP.

    As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)

  • Moving/removing menu bar menulets

    I want to remove and/or reorder various menulets (e.g., for Airport, bluetooth, MS messenger, time machine, etc.) that are on the very top menu bar. I thought it would be a simple chore, but I've tried click-drag, control-drag, option-drag, and command-drag and nothing works. They just are stuck there as if glued. There MUST be a way to remove or reorder them, isn't there? In the few months I'm had my Macbook I've learned so much, but this silly little chore has defeated me!

    You have PithHelmet installed or you have SIMBL installed. They are not compatible with 10.5.2. Perhaps uninstalling SIMBL and any utilities dependent upon it such as WiFind may fix your problem.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

  • FileVolt removes Menu Bar Items

    I am having a problm were after i enabled FileVault, the items in the menu bar disappear (bluetooth, iChat, Keychain access, and ClamXav) It seemed to occure when I restart the system, and it ask if I want to save space, due to FileVault using too much space, it goes thrugh whatever it does to save space, then shuts down. But then when I start back up, the menu bar items are gone and have to be restored. Any ideas?

    Hi, Alan.
    1. If you performed a hacked install of Front Row on your Mac, that has been know to cause this problem, particularly after recent Mac OS X updates. If that is the case, see my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ.
    2. SystemUIServer crashes often indicate an incompatible third-party menu extras. Menu extras are the icons on the right side of the menu bar and managed by SystemUIServer. Many third-party menu extras are launched as either Startup or Login Items, usually Login Items. See my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for steps that might help you with this problem.
    3. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    4. With respect to the System Preferences crashes, immediately after one occurs, check Console for clues.
    Good luck!

  • Display Arrangement - Menu Bar

    Hi!
    I have recently upgraded to Lion and I am experiencing a problem with the External Monitor.
    When I connect it reads ok and I have the external monitor as my main screen. However I can't use the other screen (MBP). When I go to Display > Arrangement the blue screens with the bar disappear. If I click Mirror Display they are both there and grouped but again when Mirro display is off there is no way to select which monitor should be the primary and the position of the screens.
    How can I do? Third party softwares perhaps? Is this a bug? It wasn't the case with Snow Leopard!

  • What plist holds preference for energy saver menu bar display?

    I have a Powermac and Powerbook. Using Leopard Sync of Preferences, the option to display energy saver status in the menubar has migrated from my laptop to my desktop - so now I get a blank entry in the menu bar icons where the battery status symbol appears on the laptop - you can click on it and it shows a greyed out menu (saying "No batteries available").
    Because I have "no batteries available" on the Powermac, the energy saver preference pane is missing the option to 'turn on / off' display of battery status does not get shown. So I can't turn this preference off on the Powermac, and am stuck with this gap in the menu bar icons.
    Presumably the display on menu bar is displayed as the result of a plist setting somewhere - but there is no obvious 'energy saver' preference: does anyone know where this setting is controlled, and if it is possible to manually correct the problem?
    Many thanks

    Do you know that holding the command key and clicking on a menu bar icon allows you to drag it left/right, or down from the menu to remove it? Removing it would probably sync the change back to your portable, which isn't desirable, but you could try dragging it all the way to the left so the empty space isn't as obvious on your desktop.
