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.

  • Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick

    Hi, Can i Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick ?
    Thanks

    Apple has sort of screwed up the whole full-screen / multi-screen features of OSX. I get it's hard to achive it all in a "perfect way" for everyone but the so called "improved" multi-screen features of 10.9 add a number of issue on top of the "fixes".
    1. Switching between apps with CMD + TAB is bugged with using 10.9 screen-setup. The OS doesn't understand what screen I'm using and the CMD + TAB feature shows up on screen 1 or screen 2. The only way I've found to controll this is by activating the DOCK on either screen which is a very bad solution.
    2. Spotlight searching always follows the "active" screen. At least 10.9 understands what screen is my active one but in this case I never ever want screen 2 to have Spotlight on it. Very irriting.
    3. Remembering application positions. If I open an app from the dock on screen 1, place it on screen 2 close it and again open it from the dock on screen 1 the app will open on screen 1 and not screen 2. Some apps will remember certain windows on the correct display. A solution is to open the app from the dock on the display you want it on. Very irritiating.
    4. Swiching between apps is also bugged. Concider I have mail on screen 2 and a new mail window on screen 1. I CMD + TAB to Safari on screen 2 after starting to write the new mail on screen 1. No problems here. If I now howvever CMD + TAB back to mail, the last active window (new mail window on screen 1) won't be active. Very irritating.
    As noted above, going back to what we had in 10.7 and 10.8 solves these issues but doesn't solve Apples horrible fullscreen app issues. I'd go as far as saying Apple hasn't really fixed anything in 10.9 - only cause more issues and confusing behavoir. Fullscreen apps are often very lacking in funktion, having safari or mail fullscreen renders them on a large screen very very limited compared to "maximized". It's also very confusion that you are required to travel between virtual desktops to use full-screen apps. I personally would prefer the option of "layered fullscreen apps". For example VLC allows me to work this way.

  • Can I remove download folder from desktop without deleting

    My Downloads folder has gotten on my desktop and now to remove it I have to put it in the trash and lose all my downloads. Is there something else I can do? It is already on my dock and in finder, but once I put the download folder from the desktop in the trash it removes my downloads from finder and the dock.

    Open a Finder window and navigate to your User directory (it will typically have folders including Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures). Click the arrow to the left of Desktop and you should see the Downloads folder that is currently on your desktop. Drag that Downloads folder (or the Downloads folder on your desktop -- they are the same) to the blank space in the Finder window below the other folders -- i.e., below Documents, Movies, etc.)

  • Want to remove scroll bar from navigation pane in Web Template

    HI All,
    I have a report created in WAD.When I am using navigation pane, I get a scroll bar there.
    I want to remove that scroll bar from navigation pane.Tried increasing the height in the property of same but nothing is helping.
    The expanded option should be ON and do not want to group characteristics shown in nav. pane.
    Please suggest, if there is any other way to do that.
    Thanks,

    Why do you want to expand it? Generally when you click on Nav pane, it should show the assigned chars under it. No scroll bar comes up with  below settings:-

  • Removing scroll bar from Nav Panel & Work Area layout

    Hi Guys,
    I have a requirement to remove the scroll bar which appears between nav panel and Work Area in 'Nav Panel and work area layout'.
    I would like it to be as a single page as we get in narrow: wide layout.
    Well I could just do it by using a narrow:wide layout, but the challenge is I also need the collapse/expand Icon which we get in Nav Panel/WA layout.
    I am looking fcor help with either
    1. Removing the scroll bar from Nav Panel/WA layout
    Or
    2. Adding collapse/expand  icon to narrow:wide layout.
    Thanks,
    Yomesh

    Hi Yomesh ,
    If you want to enable the expand/collapse icon , then you can set the property named Show Tray of the page to yes and then test . By default the property meant for showing the expand/collapse icon is set to yes . You only need to enable the tray and check .
    I did not get the requirement that you have with respect to scrollbar . Where is that scrollbar appearing that you want to remove?
    Regards

  • Removing title bar from JFrame after it isDisplayable

    I know if a frame is not in a Displayable mode, ie not visible you can remove the title bar from the frame with myFrame.setUndecorate(true) in JDK 1.4.0, but I was wondering if you can remove the title bar from the jframe once it is displayed, and conversly if already removed, can you add the title bar back to the jframe. If there is no java solution, is there a jni solution.

    if you remove the title bar from a JFrame, wouldn't you be create a JWindow?

  • Removing navigation bar from PDF in CE6

    I am writing an application for Windows CE6 and I am trying to remove the navigation bars from the PDF presented to the user.  The device is loaded with Adobe Reader 9.0.  I was told that there is a registry setting that I can change to achieve this functionality but I cannot seem to find it.  Could someone help shed some light on my situation?

    The registry value name is bExternalTabs.  It should be set to a 0 to remove the "Navigation Panel Buttons" and  should be removed to enable the functionality.  It is placed in the AVGeneral/cDockables registry key.  I figured this out by opening a pdf with the Navigation Panel Buttons presented to the user.  Then I exported the registry, removed the NPB and exported the registry again.  Doing a diff on the two exports revealed what I needed to change.

  • Remove address bar from file explorer (using regsitry)

    This used to be possible in 2008, but I haven't been able to figure out how it's done in 2012 R2. The old method was to add a key under IE, and it would also remove the address bar from windows explorer - but this method
    no longer works. So is anybody aware of what key needs to be changed or modified in order to make this happen. Further, ideally this change would happen in HKCU.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>That would seem to remove run from start menu, not the address bar from file explorer.
    Yes, this setting will disable Run.exe. However, this setting will also prevent users from accessing local or network resources by typing the accessing paths in the address bar of File Explorer.
    I am not completely sure why you want to remove the address bar in File Explorer. However, if our target is to restrict users from accessing network resources by UNC path, in my opinion, enabling this setting a better way to go.
    In addition, regarding this topic, the following thread can also be referred to for more information.

  • Remove control bar from MOV clip

    I dropped a MOV file into the web page and it created a
    control bar at the bottom. This is nice for most uses, but I don't
    want it. Any idea how to remove the bar? I tried re-sizing the
    graphic, but that just resizes it from the middle, so the result is
    that I would have to cut off a portion from the top equal to the
    size of the control bar at the bottom :-(

  • Removing Status Bar from Application Window

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to hide/remove status bar of browser window?
    I tried removing it through following line of code:-
    //This MainWin is the default window for the application
    IWDWindowInfo WindowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("MainWin");
    IWDWindow Window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(WindowInfo);
    Window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
    But its not working.
    I tried writing this code inside wdDoInit() of component controller / View's init / onAction event. But no use.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks and regards,

  • 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..

    And, if you didn't already know, that running program is the Finder.
    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.

  • Mail Removes Open Emails From Desktop On Shutdown

    I like to open Mail emails onto my desktop to remind me that they need to be replied to.  But beginning awhile back, maybe around Mtn Lion or so, they randomly get removed from my desktop upon shutdown or startup.  This has complicated my organizational system for keeping my communications in order.  This is on my iMac 27, i7, 2.8 GHz, 8 GB. Running OSX 10.9.4, Mail 7.3.  This has been happening for awhile now and still is so I don't think it is specific to current hardware of software.  I haven't tried any specific fixes for this as I don't know where to begin.  Over this same time I have replaced the OS and Clean Installed everything, for other reasons, yet still the issue persists. Is anyone else having a similar problem?  I would really love to find a fix for this, any suggestions.

  • How do I remove backup files from desktop

    I am having difficulty removing backup files that are locked from my desktop that I transfered from a backup external hard drive. It starts to delete but whern it gets to 0 it rewrites the file. this happens evn after I answer "remove all locked files".
    Thank you

    I was able to delete the backup.backup files once I :
    1.  ran disk repair
    2. disconnected the external drive and restarted.
    Also the 1password.backup files
    ( Other discussions helped greatly.)

  • Removing scroll bar from product pages

    I need to remove the scroll bar that appears on the product pages. It doesn't matter if I have only one product or 100 on the page with the small images, I still get a scroll bar on the right side. I've tried adding and removing margins and padding, set the container height to auto, and removed the previous and next buttons from the shop templates, all to no avail. It appears to be caused by the table that holds the products, but no change to the code fixes it.
    I have included a screen print of the top of the page showing the scroll bar. There are only 3 images on this page and plenty of room below them. Overflow has been set to auto (and/or visible) on the container, the table, and the page.
    So, can anyone tell me how to shut off that scroll bar? I can't find that code that includes it so I can't see what's going on.
    Thank you for you help.
    Sincerely,
    Ahurani

    Liam,
    Thank you for answering.
    I didn't want to turn the scroll bar on the page off, but the scroll bar that appears in a div container. I finally solved the problem by turning overflow: auto to overflow: hidden. And smacked myself in the forehead and said, "Duh. I knew that." Too tired and too close to the problem I guess.
    The only other thing I can't seem to find is the large space that appears above a product table. I've tried everything from margins to padding and beyond.
    Sorry about not including the url. I have used the forum so rarely that I didn't think of that. It is www.whimsicalley02.businesscatalyst.com, just in cases you want to look at the big space on Harry Potter > Accessories and on the large product page. I'd love to tuck the product closer to the breadcrumb, but if that is not possible, then c'est la vie.
    Thank you.
