Recover missing menu bar in full screen mode?

Hi All!
I have recently installed Lion and am playing around with full-screen mode. As you perhaps are aware, the menu bar at the top of the screen disappears in full-screen mode, but can be popped back into view by raising the cursor to the top fo the screen.
I would like to have the menu bar at the top of my full-screen apps at all times, because I have it sprinkled with a variety of useful information (time, stock ticker, dropbox status, etc.
I haven't been able to find any trigger in System Preferences or in specific app preferences that will let me do this. I realize that I could simply maximize windows, etc. -- in other words, I know there are workarounds.
But I would like a genuine solution that would permit me to use full-screen mode while retaining an omnipresent menu bar.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Greg

Thanks, I rebooted and it came good, but if it happens again i'll try that

  • Keyboard access to PS CS6 Menu Bar in  Full Screen Mode (Windows)

    I'm looking to find a way to access Photoshop Menus in Full Screen Mode by  pressing the Alt+(any of the underlined Menu Keys).
    The alternative I've been using is pressing the Tab key to show the Menu and Panels, or simply toggling Screen Modes (f  key or Shift+f) but that negates the purpose of Full Screen Mode.  I followed the instructions on this post to no avail:

    I really enjoy everything else about my upgrade to CS6 except for this lacking feature found in most of the earlier versions.  I hope there's an answer to this one, as my keyboard hand is all ready over cluttered with Custom Keyboard Shortcuts that use the Ctrl Key.
    Thanks!

  • Safari unable to view menu bar in full screen mode

    Been using Lion for a while now and everything seems fine, except for some reason when Safar is in full screen mode and I move the mouse up to the toolbar, the file menu and shortcuts bar doesn't appear now.

  • Blank space above address bar in full screen mode on Mac

    Hi.
    Blank space appears above address bar in full screen mode when I bookmark specific web page for the first time after FF start. Only way to hide this space is View->Toolbars->Customize->Done. But it appears each time after FF restarts. Disabling all addons does not help. This problem disappears only in FF safe mode.
    Thanks,

  • How to show up "Photo Tour Bar" in full screen mode under Aperture 2?

    HELLO,

    I am unable to show up the photo tour bar in full screen mode>
    What should I do to get the photo tour bar on the top of my full screen mode?
    Camera Canon 40D.

    Hi 153957,
    Thanks for the response.
    I could see the film strip on the bottom ok in Browser plus viewer mode.
    When I go to viewer screen the full screen mode and I could not see the Photo tool bar-sorry I spelt it "Tour" in my question.
    Now I realised that the Photo Tool bar only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.
    However in full screen mode I am unable to bring my inspector! Is that possible?

  • Why won't the font formatting options appear in the format bar in full screen mode?

    The font formatting options (bold, italic, and underline, and left, center, right, and justified) do NOT appear in the format bar in full screen mode.
    I'm running version 2.2 of iBooks Author and 10.10 of the OS X.
    I've included screenshots bellow.

    I think you need to ask Apple to fix that

  • Creative Cloud menu and OSX Full screen mode

    I recently uninstalled CS6 and installed the Creative Cloud version of all the Adobe CS apps on my computer the other day.  So far, I like it, and that part if things is working well.
    However, there is this annoying behaviour that I would like to fix if I could...
    On a Mac it's possible to put an application into full screen mode and then use a swipe gesture to move between fullscreen apps.  Whenever I do that, and then swipe back to the desktop, the Creative Cloud menu insists on dropping down on the main desktop screen... Every. Single. Time. 
    I then have to click the CC menu bar icon to get rid of it. Again, Every. Single. Time.
    Because I use fullscreen gestures a lot, this continual dropdown of the CC menu is starting to get REALLY annoying. 
    Anyone come across this before? Do you know how to stop it doing it?

    Jaredtorres the original issue disucssed in this discussion was addressed on 7/15/13.  You can find the current release notes listed at Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/release-note/cc-release-notes.html.  By default, after updating, the Creative Cloud Desktop application will also be in Window mode.

  • Unwanted title bar in full screen mode

    (Netbook, Windows 7 Starter, Firefox 3.6.13)
    When using full screen mode the Firefox title bar "usually" remains atop the page instead of retreating above as before. This occurs although the mouse position is not near the top of a web page. I've not discovered a pattern as to when the title bar remains and when it "retreats," as preferred.
    Neither Restart nor cold Reboot made an apparent difference.
    Example: title bar on this web page now shows single line on blue background with the Firefox icon followed by "Ask a Question | Firefox Support - Mozilla Firefox".

    Are you really entering the FullScreen mode using the '''F11''' key?
    Or, are you merely hiding all the Toolbars?

  • Irritating title bar in full screen mode

    When using certain apps in fullscreen hovering the mouse over the top of the screen produces the menu bar, AND a title bar which is interfering with screen real estate.
    How do I remove it?
    The screenshot below is with a youtube video playing in fullscreen, and the menu bar popped down.
    The title bar saying "Safari" and with the green button is the one I want removed. This title bar seems to pop down in Java and Flash apps, and it's particularly irritating when the pop-down steals screen real-estate (photoshop, bitwig, Flas-player, etc.). Ideally I would like to stop the menu bar from popping down as well but it doesn't seem possible.
    Thanks.

    Umasuki,
    As you may know this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not see your opinion. If you are willing I encourage you to send them feedback here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html they won't respond but at least they will know your opinion.
    Hope that helps,

  • 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?

  • Mountain Lion - missing menu bar when in full screen mode

    Hi,
    just installed ML on my late 2008 MacBookPro 15´. Everything works ok except the fact that I lose my menu bar when I switch a screen in full screen mode. Bringing my mouse pointer to the top of the screen usually dropped down the menu bar. Not so anymore with ML.
    Does anyone experienced the same issue? Is this a setting preference?
    Thanks!

    I just got QT Pro 7.1.3, but I just can't seem to get rid of that annoying menu bar. Even the older 6.5.1 didn't show the menu bar when in Presentation mode.
    Can't really help you. Seems to work properly in OS 10.4.8 for me. May be a bug that only shows up when QT v7.1.3 is used with OS 10.3.9 which needs to be reported.

  • 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

  • Cs4 full screen mode w/ menu bar no longer can scroll picture off edges

    In earlier versions' full screen mode with menu bar, if I zoom into a photo I can scroll the edge of the photo away from the windows edge, making it easier to select and work on the corners of the photo.
    In cs4, I can't get that to work. Any ideas?

    Works for me... What graphics card? Screen resolution? General computer info?

  • Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

    No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
    Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
    But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
    So anybody with further info, please post it here.

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar view mode appears with Blue Background??

    Can someone please help me figure out what I did exactly to unintentionally change the "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar" view mode so that it now appears with a Blue Background, instead of the default gray one....and better yet, can someone let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background instead?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    >let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background
    SHIFT-Click the Paint Bucket pool in that area using the gray of your choice (e.g. 132, 132, 132).
    (That's probably what you did to turn it blue.)
    Or, more drastically, you can trash your preferences.
