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)

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>

I am looking for a way to disable the windows ct

My goal is to keep the VI exclusively on the screen and disable the users from switching to other programs or shut off the PC.Public libraries use applications like WinSelect to lock down access to machines.
http://www.winselect.com/
But control-alt-delete in NT4.0 is a kernel level security feature that can't be
defeated unless you hide the keyboard. By using registry settings you can
control what is presented to the user after he hits control-alt-delete and keep
him/her from shutting down, but you will also have to lock up the computer to keep
your users from hitting the reset button and hide the mouse.
If you want to boot up an NT environment without a keyboard and mouse
you will need to go to NT Embedded. NTE allows you to build a custom
OS that does not require keyboard or mouse to boot. You can also install
just the components you need, ie; no browser, menus, control panel, etc.

Looking for a way to increase the sildeshow size in iWeb

I'm looking for a way to increase the slide show size from the pictures page in iWeb. It looks like it iPhone sized. I have tried it on 4 different computer with the same result

There's really no easy way of doing so without post publication editing of some of the support files. There were other topics earlier on this subject but no one was able to do it .
You can use 3rd party java script slideshows instead of iWeb's. Examples of some are:
Jalbum - it has over 100 themes/skins to choose from and many will let you set the size of the slideshow image. An example can be see on this demo page: Jalbum Examples.
Other options are:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
The last two are from an iPhoto plugin.

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.

HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
*Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

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..
I dont want to use an add-on for that as it will perhaps not work anymore if I update my firefox.
So i am searching for a registry/file user preference solution or anything else that will let me doing that.
Thank you for your help

Is there a way to hide the tab bar on my I Pad 2 in IOS 5?

Anyone know of a way to hide the tab bar in an I Pad 2 using OS5? It wasn't there on the previous operating system.

I can only assume that you are talking about Safari and the answer is no. Safari now uses tabs. If you want a tab free browser, download iCab. You can use tabs or you also have the old Safari way of browsing open web pages at your disposal. Another rally nice feature is that you can swipe from one open web page to another open web page. It also has a ton of other features that Safari does not have.

When I maximize the screen on my Mac Book Pro it hides the menu bar and the typed tool bar at the top of the screen as well. How do I undo this?

10.7 "Full Screen" is a feature imported from IOS, the land of tiny screens.
To use a larger window on a REAL computer, adjust the Window's size to suit your needs. Do not use "Full Screen".

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).

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.

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)

Looking for a way to hide Airport broadcast, for extra security

So I have a Linksys WRT54 router which pumps out a pretty strong signal from my apartment, (I can get 4 bars on the Aiport icon in the Menu Bar 3 floors down) the encryption key is WPA2 Personal, but I am wondering if it is possible to stop the network name being broadcast, so that new users who want to join it would have to know the name and the password and type both in manually.
Any ideas anyone?

That's because your System Preferences->Network->Advanced->Airport probably has "remember networks this computer has joined" check. Delete the network in the table above that and uncheck. Should be good to go.
Cheers
edit: you probably want to leave yours alone to remember the network. Everyone else will have to enter the network name and password unless they already have it.
