Remove top finder bar from Desktop

How can I remove the finder bar at top of the desktop screen ? I would like to have a clean desktop with nothing on the screen..
Thanks..

Actually, that isn't true. You can quit Finder & the menu bar continues to appear. (Various utilities like TinkerTool allow you to add the "Quit" menu item to Finder, or you can kill it with an Applescript.)
I believe the menu bar is started by the "launchd" process & populated by various processes like WindowServer & Spotlight (mdworker), as well as the frontmost running application, but the point is the menu bar doesn't belong to any single application & is an integral part of the graphic user interface (GUI) of the OS.
It is not a "Finder bar" or part of the Desktop. You cannot remove it if you want to use the GUI, including the Desktop metaphor as a 'place' for HD's, the files & folders of the user Desktop folder, the Dock, or the menu bar to appear.
Various applications allow you to hide the menu bar temporarily, like for showing full screen movies or to play some games, but there is no built-in, system-wide way to do this for all apps.

  • Removing Shades' Bar from Desktop

    I have downloaded and am using the Shades software to reduce the brightness on my iMac screen. (Btw, it works great and I strongly recommend it if your screen is still too bright at the lowest system setting.)
    The problem: Shades' small horizontal brightness adjustment bar is still on my desktop. I can move it anywhere, but I don't seem to be able to remove it altogether. And it's really unnecessary, since Shades already has an icon in the Menulet area (upper right).
    So: How do I remove the Shades' bar from my desktop?

    Thanks, den.thed. That did the trick.
    Nero, I did consider that it might be a Shades question, but, as a new Mac person, I also figured it was probably a OS question, so that's why I posted it here. And it turns out it was.

  • How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop window.

    How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop.

    Are you saying that when you log in, there are finder windows open before you even do anything? If so, that's because last time you logged out you left them open. Next time close all your finder windows before you log out and you should be good.

  • 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 Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Remove vertical scroll bar from table control

    hi,
    i had used table control in my application. i want remove vertical scroll bar from table control.
    At initial time in table control there is no vertical scroll bar. In my table control lines are dependent on internal table which i was used to fill it.
    i was used these code for to set table control lines.
    DESCRIBE TABLE IT_RISK_ZINRISEXC LINES EXC_LINE.
    TC_RISK_EX-LINES =   EXC_LINE .
    Initially there is no data in internal table so there is no vertical scroll bar. After getting value i am filling internal table. and there is scroll bar in my table control. but i does not want that.
    i was not selected RESIZING-VERTICAL OR -HORIZONTAL.

    Hi,
    From Scroll Bars in Table Control
    You can remove the scroll bar in the table control by switching off horizontal and vertical scrolling in the properties of the table control. The properties can be accessed from the screen painter by double clicking on the table control. Regarding the page up and page down functions, I believe you add those buttons in the screen layout and code for them. You can use the standard function code for the page up and page down functions.
    or
    You can get rid of the vertical scroll bars by not setting table control lines. This way the user can only see the visible lines of the table control. As for the horizontal scrollbar, just make sure that your table control doesn't contain too many fields.

  • Missing clock, volume etc in top finder bar amongst other issues in Snowlep

    Hello Guys,
    I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a resolution.
    a) in my finder bar at the top the clock and everything is invisible, when I try to change any settings for this finder crashes and when they do decide to be visible I cannot do anything with them as the color wheel is present when I scroll over them.
    b) My battery is lasting about 20 minutes, I had a new battery, charger and connections under my apple care within the last 12 months and now it is telling me battery needs to be replaced.
    c)When my battery is clost to dead the warning that comes up flashes every 10 seconds regardless whether I tell it to or not and is drinving me insane.
    any thoughts on any of these?
    Thanks for your thoughts guys and gals
    Timmy

    Go to /username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and move the com.apple.windowserver.XXXXXX.plist files to the Desktop, log out and back in, and those items should be displayed. If so, delete the moved plist files.

  • How do I remove the title bar from a Palm PDA front panel?

    On several PDA screens, I need all the real esate I can get. The title bar chews up a lot of it.  Is there any way, in the vi settings or programmatically, that I can remove the title bar?
    I've already tried the obvious step of unchecking "window has a title bar" in the window appearance catagory of the vi properties.  No apparent effect is seen.

    Hello,
    It sounds like you are referring to the GUI actually on your Palm devices.  I believe on Palm devices all applications have a title bar, and there isn't a way to get rid of it.  My guess is that perhaps this is a feature you can enable/disable as a Palm OS setting, or may simply be the way the Palm has defined its user interface.  If you have your Palm devices handy, check out the display settings to see any has an option to remove the title bars in general.  If you find out either way, definitely repost so the community can find the answer here as well!
    Thank you,

  • How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

    Hi,
    I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
    Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

  • Removing the edit bar from the bottom of the page

    Hi,
    I have created a web application using HTML DB. Is there a way to remove the bottom bar which has link for editpage etc?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    -anubhav

    anubhav,
    You will see the developer toolbar if the application status is set to "Available with Edit Links" and you also have an Application Builder session in the same browser session for a developer in the same workspace as the workspace that owns your application. You will not see the toolbar if the application status is not set to "Available with Edit Links" or you do not have an Application Builder session in the same browser session for a developer in the same workspace as the workspace that owns your application..
    You can change the status to "Available" using the application attributes page, to turn off the toolbar.

  • How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

    Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did.  I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there.  I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer.  Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject.  Nothing works.  Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar?  I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result.  Thank you.

    Hi
    so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only  the dark search bar.
    Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting'  is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
    If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

  • Remove horizontal scroll bar from iview

    HI,
    My portal page have 2 iviews and one of them is Webdynpro iview; these iviews are placed in the page horizontally. Page and webdynpro ivew both of them have unnecessarily horizontal scrollbar.  At least I want to remove horizontal scrollbar from iView. (Our portal version is 6.0 SP 18). It looks like that it is not possible to do this by changing any iView property. Even I checked theme properties but figured out nothing.
    Who knows more and can help me?
    Regards,
    Mesut

    Mesut,
    Its possible to remove the horizondal tool bar in an iView.
    Either you can change/modify the content that making horizondal tool bar or Customize the Layout
    in portal.
    Download the layout par file and upload into NWDS. Create your own layout/ changing the width of existing one. If you are modifying the existing layout, then that may effect all other pages where that particular layour is beeing used.
