Remove top bar of split keyboard on Safari

I really like the split keyboard on ios5, but it has a serious flaw when used in Safari. As I write this text, the keyboard is split but it shows a bar that runs atop both halves and has 3 buttons on the left (previous, next and auto fill - not sure if it's correct, my os is portuguese) and has a gray background through the whole screen. It gets real bad when I'm using GMail, most of the times I can't see what I'm typing, rendering it almost unusable.
Long story short, can I make it look like it is on other apps? Two halves with no background between them and no top bar?

AFAIK - You cannot remove the gray background or the 3 buttons on the left. The split keyboard is identical to the full size version - it is just split in half. That gray background is behind the full size keyboard as well, but it is more pronounced - or noticeable - when the keyboard is split.
I assume that many people love this new feature but personally I do not see the fascination with it. I have enough problems with the full size keyboard - but as the old saying goes - "to each his own"!
BTW ... In case you don't realize this - you can move the split keyboard up and down on the screen by tapping and holding down on the same key that you use to split or dock the keyboard.

Remove top bar on iPhone?

By looking at the samples, I've seen that some applications show the top bar (the one that shows the time, battery life, etc) and others don't. I would like to remove it in my game, but by looking at the code in the samples, I can't found out what's the code that shows it or removes it.
May someone enlighten me?

Removing 'Bookmarks Bar' and 'Bookmarks Menu' from Safari

Since installing Mountain Lion on my MBP, I've had Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders added to my mobile safari. It's pretty annoying now with Reading List and History, that my mobile bookmarks start halfway down the page.
Is there any way to remove them?

My title bar with the ability to close windows is not available. I must hold the cursor at the top of the page to see my title with time, etc.

Dislike the 4.0 View - can I remove top bar?

I dislike Firefox 4.o's Menu toolbar which splits the page name above the File Edit View bar. It's a waste of valuable space, and the trend towards widescreen monitors (landscape) when written page are portrait just makes it worse.
If they can't be shown side-by-side, can I keep the File Edit View commands and delete the page name at the very top?
I want all the other bars - ie Google search box next to page address bar, bookmarks bar, tabs.
I tried to show screen view here but couldn't.
Firefox 4 is NOT an improvement.

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.

In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in. It is showing crash report with Relaunch option, when i click on Relaunch option finder is working properly but i am unable to see Top bar(Apple logo, Date and Wifi etc... bar). Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

My top bar disappears in safari--why?

when in safari, my top bar disapears..when i place the cursor at the top of the monitor it reappears but does not stay in place, it disapears again..this happen once before but i forgot the solution
thanks

You are in Full Screen Mode.
When you are in Full Screen mode, Menubar and top bar are hidden.
To get out of the Full Screen mode, when the menubar drops down, click the
blue double arrow at the right most end of the menubar.
Pressing the esc key in the keyboard will also do the same thing.
Grey double arrow at the top right most part of the window is to make the window to enter Full Screen Mode.
You want the Safari window to fit the screen?
Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Double arrows will appear. Drag it to fit the screen.

My I Mac has a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave it with safari or mail open when I come back to it it has closed these down and I have to re open

My I Mac has developed a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave for awhile with Safari or anything else left on when I return it has closed these down and I have to re open them, has anybody got any ideas how to cure these problems if possible.

For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
Also try resetting your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Hi, did you upgrade the OS lately?
I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?
This only started 2 days ago.
I have seen much on line as this seems to be a common problem, however none of the suggestions posted seem to work.

Thanks Drew,
On clicking the US flag I had previously then unchecked the US box. It has rechecked itself, and I have unchecked it again. The GB English remains checked.
The flag icon has now gone completely from the top bar (just replaced with character and keyboard viewer) -but that's fine. That's different to previous attempts to fix the issue.
Hopefully now I will remain able to type a £ sign on the keyboard rather than get the criss-cross symbol. It may well default back in about an hour (which is what has been happening since this started 2 days ago). If it does I'll come back on here. Many thanks in the mean time for your help.

In Safari, The space bar on the keyboard disappears when I go to type in the search bar? But wo

In safari, the space bar on the keyboard disappears when I try to type in the search bar? (yet works fine when I tap the google search bar). Any suggestions?

James Ward4 wrote:
Thats actually not a search bar. It's the address field. Frankly I hadn't noticed that the space doesn't display for the field, but it probably shouldn't. No well formed web address should have a space.
It should be noted however that the address bar is not strictly for URLs. You can also type bookmark names and history items (though not web searches). Here a space would occasionally come in handy. In fact when using an external keyboard it is possible to enter spaces in this field. So this is strictly a limitation of the on-screen keyboard.

Mac's Safari will not hide the top bar when in full screen please help

So in my Safari when I enter full screen to watch a video the top bar won´t disappear no matter how long I wait and this is one of the little details that just **** me off. Here's a picture of it: http://i.imgur.com/0rGaE.jpg
Please tell me how to fix it.
Thanks.

What version of Safari and what version of iMac are you using? If you can give us you iMac Model Identifier from the About this Mac under the Apple Menu, More Info tab, that would be helpful.
Good luck.

I have not been able to get the built-in iPhone 4S keyboard dictation to work. I talk into it, then tap "Done", then the phone "thinks" for a few seconds (the purple dots pulse and I see the network icon on the top bar spinning) and then nothing happens.

Siri is wroking fine

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, today, and a reset, of all settings, did nothing to correct it. Any suggestions would be welcome. While dictation in all apps is out, Siri is working fine also.

How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?

Hi.
My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
Thanks!

Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications.
