Hide Menu bar and disable dock.

s there a way to Hide the Menu bar?
(there must be a way because it gets hidden when watching a movie in full screen in vlc or any other app)
and is there a way to disable (not hide) the dock?
thanks.

Is there a way to Hide the Menu bar?
The menubar is a consistent interface artifact in Mac OS X and Macs in general which never changes its location, unlike Windows which attach menubars to specific applications. If your purpose is a kiosk style web browser, there is Saft for Safari. Other web browsers have their own built-in kiosk mode for the Mac.
If you want a menubar to be hidden for other applications, contact the software vendor who makes the software you want the menubar hidden on. Most applications depend on its existence.
The Dock while put on the right hand side of the screen is less likely to get activated by accident, and will activate more slowly than when on the bottom of the screen if you make it unhidden and magnification off, and then automatically hide it with command-option-D keystroke.

Hide menu bar and toolbar

Hi people,
Someone knows a way to hide (or deactivate) menus and toolbars in standard transactions? It's possible without coding?
Tks,
Douglas

Hi Douglas,
You can hide a menu bar via a transaction and screen variant. The T.code is SHD0. No code required, just a development class/package.
I'm not sure if you have hide tool bars.
SAP has some good documentation on transaction and screen variants. Below is the link.

Hi
your utility is very helpful
one thing i want ask.... i am using oracle developer suite in that where i can find web server and where i can place the FormStart folder
Help me in this
Thanks
Edited by: maddyd2k on Mar 31, 2011 3:46 AMHi
first, yes this utility is very useful but it is not mine ;) all credits goes to Peter de Vaal the author !
for your requirements, take a look at Peter's documentation on how to set up the utility for developer suite (the webserver is the oc4j standalone)
you must define a virtual path to your FormStart folder and html files :
Step 2. Define a virtual path
The FormsStart directory must be made accesible through the http protocol. The way to do this is to define a virtual path for your web server.
For Oracle Developer Suite the webserver is the stand-alone oc4j. You define a virtual path in file orion-web.xml. This file can be found in:
<DS_home>\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp
Add the following line before the </orion-web-app> tag:
     <virtual-directory
            virtual-path="/forms/fs"
            real-path="C:\oracle/FormsStart/html" />
For Oracle Application Server the webserver is Apache. You can specify virtual paths in httpd.conf or in one of its include files (oracle_apache.conf, forms.conf). We suggest to specify it in forms.conf (in <AS_home>\forms\server, For 9i and 9.0.4 it is: forms90\server\forms90.conf).
Use Enterprise Manager Website to edit this file (Click on HTTP Server, then on Advanced server Properties, then on forms.conf or forms90.conf).
Add the following line, below the list of other AliasMatch tags:
Windows:
# Virtual path for FormsStart Utility
AliasMatch ^/forms/fs/(..*) "C:\oracle\FormsStart/html/$1"
Unix:
# Virtual path for FormsStart Utility
AliasMatch ^/forms/fs/(..*) "/app/oracle/FormsStart/html/$1"JeanYves

Hide menu bar and title bar in a JFrame

Hi!
I'm using a JFrame for a kind of viewer application. I start it as normal, so the JFrame has a JMenuBar with menus and the title bar with the application name.
So far, all right, but at some point I would like to press a JButton to make the viewer application full screen, that is, hiding the window title bar and the JMenuBar.
Any idea?
PD: I've tried the method myJMenuBar.setVisible(false) in order to hide the menu bar, but it seems it doesn't work because I'm using the Look&Feel Metal with border decorations.

something like this seems to work OK.
basically, create a JPanel that is the contentPane of the frame, then for full screen
create a JWindow, add the panel to the window, show the window
(alt-F4 to close)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
    JMenuItem menuOpen = new JMenuItem("Open");
    JMenuItem menuSave = new JMenuItem("Save");
    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
    menu.add(menuOpen);
    menu.add(menuSave);
    menuBar.add(menu);
    JButton btn = new JButton("Full Screen");
    final JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
    p.add(btn,new GridBagConstraints());
    final JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(p);
    f.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
    f.setSize(200,100);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
    btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
        JWindow w = new JWindow(f);
        w.add(p);
        f.setSize(0,0);
        w.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
        w.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}

Do not show the Mac menu bar and the Dock in full-screen mode option not available

"Remote Desktop Connection" for mac has an option to
hide the menu bar in full screen mode. I am unable to locate this option in the new
Microsoft Remote Desktop. Without this option the remote desktop connection bar becomes completely inaccessible. And since the old "remote desktop connection" program has poor support for windows 8.1 I cannot go back.
Is there a workaround? Can you please add this important feature back in?

Ever since I updated to OSX 10.9.3 the menu bar and dock keep hiding. How can I disable this?

I updated to OSX 10.9.3 and now the top menu bars and the dock always hide. I always have to click at the top to get them to show again. I wan't to see them all the time as before. Any solutions? Btw. my automatically hide and show dock option from the dock options menu is disabled, but everything keeps hiding.

They hide when you use an App in Full Screen mode
Go to the top of the display and force the menu bar to be revealed and click on the blue full screen icon, to take it out if that mode

My screen is magnified on full and i can't find the menu bar and the doc.

My screen is mangified on full and i can't find the menu bar and the dock.

Hello, Melorw44.
Try pressing the <esc> (Escape) key.
If <esc> doesn't clear your full screen, restart your Mac. When you launch Safari after the restart, the normal sized window should open.
BTW, three finger double tap applies to trackpads. From your responses, I infer that you are not using a trackpad. However, if you are using a wireless mouse (or other wireless pointing device), low batteries in the device might be causing your inability to control your view.

Apple script to enable/disable dark menu bar and dock when sunsets/sunrises

Greetings,
Regarding the new dark menu bar and dock function in Yosemite. Would it be possible to write a script that would enable this function at a certain time say sunset and to disable it at another time say sunrise?
If so, is there anybody who could possibly help me write such a script or atlas point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance
G_D

Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

How to hide the menu bar and Dock

Howto hide the menu bar and Dock on Mac, I found a tutorial that addfunctions esto info.plist this
<key> LSUIPresentationMode </ key>
<integer> 4 </ integer>
But does not work which you know another way to do this?

I have played with 'LSUIPresentationMode' in the past - I may be wrong but I think a value of "1" (and "2" for that matter) only really works in combination with 'LSUIElement' set to a string value of "1". The 'LSUIElement' property of course does away with the application's own menu items so isn't ideal for most applications and since you mentioned using "1" instead of "4", I assume you want your menu items visible all the time.

If that still doesn't work then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

Display missing out menu bar and part of dock

When I bought my computer I also got a mini display port to HDMI. At first it was missing some of the menu bar and dock and I turned underscan on and it was fine. I then unpluged it and the next time I plugged it in underscan is greyed out. I am using a samsung widescreen display. Can someone plz help me?

Hello, see if this might be it...
I think you accidentally hit CMD+Option+8, do it again, or open System Preferencess>Universal Access>Seeing & turn Zoom OFF.

Not able to see menu bar and dock after maximizing.

Prior to installing Yosemite, maximizing a window left the menu bar and dock visible; with Yosemite they are no longer visible. How do I reset this?

Moving the mouse pointer to top or bottom of screen (assuming menu at top and dock at bottom), should display them.
Or, Control/Command/F combination.
