I know of know way to alter the menu bar in OS X as far as font or size goes. There are several apps to customize the Menu bar, but none that will change the size.

Need menu bar on BOTH displays when using external monitor

How can I have the menu bar on BOTH displays without using the "Mirror Display" mode???
I bought a Thunderbolt and use it with my MBA. It works fine overall but this is still like having one display instead of two. A real downer!!
There are 2 modes:
Mirror Displays: (identical screen: why waste valuable screen realestate?)
"Normal" mode: where it gives you access to the 2 monitors independently (you can move apps. windows and locate them on any screen you want).
In the "Normal" mode, you can move the menu bar from one display to the other but it does not resolve the problem. We need TWO menu bars, which work identical and can be used on whatever display the mouse cursor happens to be.
Currently, let's say I have applications A & B displaying on MBA, applications C & D displaying on TB, and the Menu Bar on TB. It is a nightmare to work!!!! Anytime I want to work on A or B I have to move the mouse side way to get to the MBA, then to use the menu, I can't even move up into the TB all the way to the menu bar: I have to move through the side onto the TB then up to the menu bar, select, down through the TB, side way to the MBA, and on and on and on....
Anybody knows how to duplicate a functional menu bar without Mirror Display?
Anyway of simplifying this nightmare?
Thanks

Menu bar in Yosemite appears on both monitors

Mac Pro w/ Yosemite and dual monitor display
The menu bar at the top of the screen appears on BOTH monitors ALL the time. However, the one on the secondary monitor is dimmed out, and can be two or three app switches behind. For example, awhile ago I worked in Illustrator, and the Illustrator menu bar is visible in the second monitor (but dimmed). On the main monitor I have been in several apps since, but currently it is showing Firefox. If I mouse click on that dimmed out menu it will go right to Illustrator - and the Illustrator menu will appear on BOTH monitors. It will remain this way until switching to another app which has palettes on the second monitor, so just now I went to InDesign, and now that menu bar is visible. Also visible are the usual items in the right part of the menu, such as the time.
Finally, but I think related. When in Adobe apps, with all the palettes located in the second monitor, when I click on something which should pop up more choices (anything in the character palette) - sometimes the pop-up will appear all the way across both screens, and on the main monitor. That is a ridiculous pain.
Other than that the system seems stable, and the apps do work. I did go back down to one desktop in spaces, but that seems to make no difference. Ideas ???
Thanks, C

Can you explain the problem better?
So, you select a Menu, scroll down to an item that has a submenu and you click on it? Clicking isn’t necessary but anyway, what happens next?
If I select a menu item, then hover over a submenu’d item, the submenu pops out to the side and I select an item from that menu. What does yours do?

How do I remove Top Bar in Second Display?

Hello Everyone,
I just updated my iMac to Yosemite, and some of my multi-display settings have changed. I would like there to be nothing showing on the second screen until I use programs like PPT, ProPresenter, etc. Currently, the second display is black screen except for the top menu bar. How do I hide seeing this? This computer is used in church services, and we truly need it full black if possible.
Thanks!

The only way I know of doing that is putting the app in Full Screen mode, I am assuming you are using Yosemite (10.10.x), to put the display in full screen mode simply click the green + symbol in the upper left of the window.

Top bar does not show for displaying PDFs in browser

The top bar (the one that has: File-Edit-View-Documents-Tools-Window-Help) displays when the Preference is set to NOT display PDFs in my browser. But when I set the Preference to display PDFs in my browser, the top bar does not display.
How can I get the top bar to display when my Preference is to display PDFs
in my browser? That is the manner in which I use Acrobat Reader 90 percent of the time.
I am using Acrobat Reader 9 which I just downloaded yesterday, my operating system is Windows XP (with Service Packs 1 and 2) and my browser is Internet Explorer.
Can anyone here help me? Or is there a better place to get help on this?
Milton Beychok

Well the problem is that, in Windows, the menu bar is owned by the application. When you view the PDF in the browser, the browser owns the menu bar and chooses what to show. Hence it shows only the browser items and not the Reader menus. If you view it outside the browser, Reader is running stand-alone and shows it's menu items.
I think, all you can do is show make sure the button bars you want are exposed by default.

I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display. If I have Photoshop running on the cinema display, the menu bar is on the iMac. Is there any add on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar

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.

How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS3274 Small lock appearing on the top bar and display not rotating.

My apple ipad ii showing a small lock symbol on right top bar and the display is not rotating. This happened after kids were playing games. Any wrong key pressed or why?

The orientation lock is activated. To unlock, double click the home button to bring up the multitask bar, swipe from left to right until you see the orientation lock icon next to the media play controls. Tap on it to disable it, click the home button to return to the home screen.
Also described here, in case the side switch is set to lock your screen rotation:

Display name in top bar

Hi all
when i run the form i get a top bar in every form there is written
one side Window and other side ORACLE i want in between or in place of this my own given name
please guide me
Thanks And Regards
Vikas

The space you want to put your tile is actually Menu Bar. You can do as Andreas suggested, but I would also disable "Window" menu as it will appear just right after your "Title" menu.
Create dummy menu with two menu items:
"TITLE"
Type: Plain
Command Type: Null
"WINDOW"
Type: Magic
Magic Item: Window
Command Type: Null
Attach menu to your form.
In when-New-Form-instance:
SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY('MENU1.WINDOW', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY('MENU1.TITLE', LABEL ,' ------------------ MY TITLE----------------');

Help!!! How to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page?

Any one knows how to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page??? I've tried to change the zIndex property using javascript, but it doesn't work.

Anyone can helps me? Thanks in advance!!!

Check the docs. Trent is usually very thorough in his

Hint: I haven't studied it but it probably involves modifying
one of DW's

Ff22 has two top bars, both of which act simultaneously in the identical way. Furthermore, the BACK button doesn't light up on many web pages. That means I cann

Problem #1.
The first top bar has a firefox logo at upper left corner and the words "Ask a Question/Mozilla Support-Mozilla Firefox" are on the logo's right side. The first top bar has minimize, overlap and close buttons at the upper right corner. When I click on the logo, a short menu drops from it, which has choices like "restore"..."close".
The second top bar has the word "Firefox" at the upper left corner with a downward arrow beside it. They look like white letters contrast to the orange background of a huge button. When I click on it, a double paned menu shows up. It has many choices such as new tab, new private window...bookmarks, history, download...exit. The second top bar also has minimize, overlap and close buttons at the upper right corner, too. There are 7 word titles "file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools and help" below that huge orange button at the upper left corner. The logos and the address bar are below the 7 words.
I don't need 2 top bars. They occupy too much screen property.
Problem #2
The BACK button doesn't light up and cannot work on many web pages.
Thank you

It sounds like there is either an application or an extension of Firefox that is causing this problem.
You can launch Firefox in Safe mode to try and identify problems: http://mzl.la/MwuO4X

Additionally, you can try and do a soft reset of Firefox if you are not able to solve this problem: http://mzl.la/MnSTZB
