How do I hide the menu bar on Safari when watching videos on full screen mode?

Hey guys,
I have a mid 2010 macbook pro (Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8) which I have recently restored from time machine after installing a new hard drive.
However, now when I watch flash videos on putlocker or hulu etc the menu bar on safari on the top left of the screen and the icons on the top right (airport, battery, date/time etc) does not disappear as it used to.
When I am on youtube I have a similar problem but this time the video only occupies the window so tabs (and everything above) in safari and my dock still appear. I know this may be a youtube related query, but if anyone knows how to change this I would appreciate any guidance.
This is my first post so sorry if this in the wrong forum (feel free to move it) or if my description is unclear, I can provide further information if needed.
Many thanks!
Tom

You're welcome and only on my first cup of coffee

How can i hide the menu bar at the bottom of the app in itunes

how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen.
I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.

How can I hide the menu bar of better a specific option without using an addon?

For security purpose on my environment, I would like to hide the Menu Bar option or (better) restrict the right to install an add-on, change the proxy configuration etc..

You can hide the menu bar and other toolbars with code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.

Menu bar is not visible, but neither is Full Screen mode button. How do I fix this?

While I am in Firefox, it appears that I am in Full Screen mode, as my Menu Bar is missing while in the application, but when I looked up how to troubleshoot, it told me to click on the Full Screen mode button (with diagonal arrows) but it is not visible anywhere in my browser. How else can I get out of Full Screen mode? Thank you!

On Mac you can use: command+Shift+F

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.

Looking for a way to hide the menu bar

hey all, i've been looking for a way to hide the menu bar completely and then mouse over it to bring it back, like how the dock is when it's hidden. i want the same thing for the menu bar to free up a little more space and make it a little cleaner looking. i'm currently using eclipse just to black it out completely but there's just a black bar across the top of my screen with it and i just want it gone. any suggestions?

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)

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
textArea.setWrapText(true);
To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
scrollBarv.setDisable(true); and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
//css file
.text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
    -fx-opacity: 0;
}Here is an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
        textArea.setWrapText(true);
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(textArea);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
        ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
        scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
}

My menu bar disappeared (maybe I pressed a wrong button before). In other words: I cannot select File, Bookmarks, options, Help etc. How can I reactivate the menu bar?

My Firefox looks like this at the top now:
Line 1: Icons for page backward, forward, refresh, stop, homepage and then the entry filed for Urls. This was line 2 before, I had the Browser menu as line one and cannot reactivate it.
Line 2: Pdfforge ( aplugin for Firefox)
Below is only the browsing area

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

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.

Is there any way to hide the menu bar?

I've been trying to find out if there's a way to hide the menu bar unless the mouse pointer is pushed up to the upper edge of the screen, I know there are third-party applications that let you do this (Menufela which uses Application Enhancer that I prefer to avoid as it is causes more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned), I also know that it's possible to write applications that cause the menu bar to exhibit this behaviour while they're focused.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make it behave this way all the time without installing Application Enhancer and having to deal with all the headaches that come with it.

It does seem odd that you can't get the menu bar to hide itself though, I seem to recall something about editing certain files in .app directories to make it hide itself on an app-by-app basis.
To hide the menu bar for a single application, you need to modify the Info.plist, as described -> here <-.
This will work on nearly every application. Only on a very few applications it will cause incorrect behaviour, mainly Finder.app.
So a simple way to realise your wishes, is to create an Applescript, that will "hide and unhide" the menubar for a couple of apps at one time.
Here a demonstration example: Choose one or more apps. Menu bar will be hidden/unhidden:
<pre style="
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1;
border: 2px solid #1E90FF;
width: 700px; height: 200px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #F5FFFA;
overflow: auto;">
on run
set xyz to choose file default location (path to "apps" as alias) with multiple selections allowed without invisibles
repeat with i in xyz
set appName to name of (get info for i)
if appName ends with ".app" then set proName to text 1 thru -5 of appName
tell application "Finder"
try
if exists (process proName) then
set x to display dialog "Is " & "\"" & proName & "\"" & " still running? If so, please quit it now!" buttons {"Cancel", "Quit it!", "No! Not running!"} default button 2 with icon 0
end if
end try
end tell
try
if button returned of x is "Quit it!" then
tell application appName
quit
end tell
end if
end try
try
((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info.plist") as alias
set infoPlist to quoted form of POSIX path of ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info")
try
do shell script "defaults read " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
do shell script "defaults delete " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
on error
do shell script "defaults write " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode -int 4"
end try
end try
end repeat
end run
</pre>
