Hiding the Menu bar

Hi all
Rather an odd question I have but hopefully someone has a solution.
We're replacing our PC Training Room with macs and using virtual machines to have the flexibility of xp, vista linux or mac.
Created a user called winxp that launches virtual box and cuts straight into full screen mode to minimise Apple angst for the users and trainers.
But one glitch is bugging us.
In full screen mode a mouse over at the top of the screen reveals the Apple Menu bar. Unfortunately maximised windows in xp have the close box right at the top of the screen which I fear will create confusion.
So the question is ... is there a way or tool that can fully hide the Finder including the Menu bar ?
Kind Regards
Eric

Contact virtual box's developer about this issue - it is their decision to show the menubar without requiring a key press modifier.

Hiding the menu bar of acrobat when opening in internet explorer

Hi, i remember vaguely about a certain suffix you can give to the link of a pdf file so that when it opens inside internet explorer, it does not show the menu bar. Could someone help me out and tell me what this suffix is?
I remember it was something like.... www.asfg.com/mypdf.pdf#NOMENU or something.
If there is any other way to do this, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,

Why does hiding the menu bar hide the window title?

[FF4.0] If I uncheck Menu Bar (R click top area) the title in the title bar at the top of window also disappears. IE9 just has a blank title bar! What's with the losing of the title bar? It's actually useful...

Are you running Firefox in maximized mode?
You can set the pref browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

What happened to moving the menu bar to the icon in the upper left hand corner ?

Firefox used to do this really neat thing where you could relocate the menu bar to the Firefox icon in the upper left hand corner of the browser. The menu itself was changed and rearranged as well. All you had to do is click on the Firefox icon in the upper left hand corner of the browser and the menu bar would appear as a menu from that icon at the same time hiding the menu bar. What happened to that feature?

That has never been a built-in feature of Firefox 3.6.* or earlier versions. Firefox 4 will introduce a button that replaces the menu bar, if you had a similar feature in an earlier version of Firefox it would have been added by an extension.
Possible extensions that you may have used are [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4550/ Compact Menu 2] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455/ Tiny Menu].

How to disable the menu bar from hiding and fix screen?

I've looked thoughly to find the answer online, system preferences and here with no luck. I recently updated my software to Mac OS X 10.7.4. Now the menu bar is automatically hiding, but reapearing when I mouse over and the screen in all windows are too wide and long. When I click the 'green' icon for resizing the window, it sizes it too wide and long. I am not in full screen and do not have enlarge on (COMMAND +) and i've check the display settings. Maybe Mac added this as a feature with the update thinking people will like it but I don't like it at all, my typing in an email is not visable on the right. Can someone please tell me how to turn this feature off? Also the resolution/clarity of my screen is not as good since the update. It is not much of a difference but enough to make my eyes hurt a bit.
thanks for your help!

Yes it is Aluminium. Yes I checked that it is set to 1280 by 800 and changed the resolution and changed it back many times to see if that would help. Is this not a new feature with the new OS X update? Thanks

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

Many of my photos appear briefly as I scroll down the page then disappear leaving a box outlined with a broken-line. The menu bar says that I have 300 pictures hidden, but I am unable to get them unhidden.

I am experiencing difficulty with iPhoto '11. Some of more recent photos can not be accessed. As I scroll down the page of photos, the most recent ones appear briefly, then disappear to be replaced with a box outlined by a broken-line. The menu bar says that I have 317 photos hidden. Hiding photos is not something that I normally do, can't imagine why these are hidden. Anyway, when I try to unhide the photos, I can view them as an event, but if I click on a single photo, or try to move it into an album, the photo does not display. Instead I get a dark exclamation point within a triangle. Another problem with these same photos is on the event page there is no key photo for these events only a dark screen. I can't find an answer to my problem. Has anyone experienced this? What is the problem and how can I correct it?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How to hide the menu bar from a Transaction iView (SAP GUI for HTML).

Hello all,
I have created a simple SAP Transaction iView of type SAP GUI for HTML. This iView has the Menu bar that has the buttons: Menu, Back, Cancel, and System. My requirement is, I dont want to see the menu bar that has these buttons. How do I go about it? Please advice.
Note: My iView is a SAP Transaction iView and not IAC service related iView.
Thanks
Vicky R.

You'll want to set the parameter ~webgui_simple_toolbar in your webgui service.
It is a binary parameter with the following values/options:
0 : Hiding the page header completely (not recommended)
1 : Standard setting
This is the recommended standard setting in which the title and the menu bar below it with the [Exit] and [Help] button and the application buttons are displayed.
2 : Displaying the title line
4 : Displaying the buttons [Exit] and [Help]
8 : Displaying the active system buttons on the screen ([Back] and [Cancel])
16 : Displaying the system menu
32 : Displaying the application buttons
128 : Deactivating the information block in the status bar (new)

How do i get the menu bar to stay

how do i get the menu bar to stay down where i can see
it all the time - instead of hiding from me.
thx

If you're running Lion, press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Otherwise, provide more details, including the Mac OS version and the application you're have trouble with. A screenshot would help.

When I have Safari maximized, can I lock the menu bar?

Viewing Safari from my desktop, I do and can view/use the menu bar. But, what about when I have Safari maximized? It is always in hiding. Is there a way to lock it? I would like to know time and battery status at a glance....

When you put your screen in "Full Screen Mode," you cannot see the menubar or the dock. To have access to those two things, you can only drag the viewing screen out to its limits.
To get the pane to its fullest size, drag the left corner all the way to the left of the screen. Then, Drag the screen out by the selecting the lower right corner and dragging outward to the right.

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

How do I add the Displays icon to the Menu Bar?

In prior OS on my iMac, I was able to add the Display icon to the Menu Bar, making it a quick fix to adjust the resolution. That option no longer appears in the Display section of System Preferences. I am using multiple displays. Could that make any difference? Any suggestions?

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

In the Menu Bar, under File, then Open File, how do I change the selections?

I have Firefox 11.0 and Windows 5.1 (2007). In Firefox, I click on FILE in the Menu Bar, then OPEN FILE (Ctrl+O), and I see a small box; it says Look in: Mozilla Firefox. Below is a selection of files within the folder Mozilla Firefox. To the left is a column of four other folders: Downloads, My Computer, John, Lori. The last two are obviously two of the folders I've created on my computer, using Windows. But I don't know how they got here! I have no recollection of customizing this particular Firefox menu option by adding those folders, nor can I figure out what to do in order to further customize it. Can anyone tell me: (1) how can I change the original "Look in" option so that it opens with something other than "Mozilla Firefox" (which, after all, I never need to access)? (2) how can I add/delete/change the choices offered in the column on the left, so that different folders are listed? (Currently, if I want to access my Windows folders/files, I first have to minimize the Firefox screen; this seems to me a nice shortcut, but I'd like it to include shortcuts to the folders I use the most, which does not include "Mozilla Firefox"!) (3) Is this actually a Firefox feature, or is it a Windows feature? It does look like Windows (Windows style, Windows folders), but it appears only in the Firefox Menu Bar, along with Bookmarks, Tools, etc. Thanks!

This sounds like a Windows thing ( You can post a photo and I can tell you for certain). Those folders are Windows system created folders that your computer has had since it was installed, all Firefox does is use the Windows File picker, which is what you see when you open that window. So, to customize you'd have to do that from Windows Explorer (not Firefox).
The Window should however remember what folder you were in last.

You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.
