Restore Mac Menu Bar

I would like to know how to restore the black text on the Mac MenuBar Right now, my text is a grey color (almost as if the options are disabled). I have provided an image below. This happened, I think, after I used this software.
     If I uncheck the "Transulent Menu Bar" in System Prefrences, I get this:
     I would like it to look like this:
Thanks for any help!

Any time you install a hack like this, you run a risk that it may not be reversible. I suspect that this hack probably modified some part of the system and did not properly restore it when it "removed" itself. Try contacting the developer... but you'll need to be prepared if he/she is unresponsive.
If you have a backup of your system from before you installed that hack, you should restore to that backup. Otherwise, you could try reinstalling the system on top of your existing system. This will restore any modified or removed files.
By the way, note that running as root on a normal basis is an astoundingly bad idea. In fact, enabling the root user at all isn't a very good idea. This doesn't help you now, but you should not do this in the future.

  • Can't access top of photoshop window under mac menu bar

    The top of my Photoshop window has slipped under the Mac menu bar-and I can't acces it. I've tried re launching PS, it opens in the same position. I've tried the tapping the F key- does not solve it. I've tried different work spaces- still the same. I've tried using mission control- it lets me see the top bar in the photoshop window, then when I choose it, it's still the same.
    Is there any way to hide the mac menu bar when I have PS open so I could grab the title bar and bring it down?
    HELP- Thanks

    I tried everything suggested here and on other sites and nothing* would work for me. I luckily have other monitors plugged into my laptop and when I unplugged one, the top of the Photoshop title bar showed up on another monitor.
    * I tried changing my resolution to a larger resolution and when that didn't reveal it, I changed the orientation of my one of my attached monitor. I could see the top of the title bar then on another monitor, but since I couldn't control my mouse easily and get it back to my main monitor/laptop where the system preferences box was, it timed out on me and I wasn't able to grab the title bar of Photoshop. I only mentioned all that because if someone is not working on multiple screens and the resolution trick doesn't work for them, maybe try changing the orientation...but that was only an option for my attached monitor. So maybe none of this is a helpful tip. Sorry!

  • Title Bar hidden behind Apple Mac menu bar

    Hi
    I am using Elements Organizer 12.1 and, for some reason, the title bar is hidden behind my Apple Mac menu bar.  Does anyone know how to click behind the menu bar so I can access the Elements title bar?
    Thanks
    Richard

    The first thing to try is to go to system preferences>displays and set your screen resolution down as far as it will go. You may need to try a few different settings, but eventually it may snap back into place and then you can go back to the correct setting for your display.

  • Java System.setProperty  (get JMenuBar on mac menu bar)

    Hi,
    I am currently building a Java application using Eclipse IDE. I have written GUI programs on OS X 10.4 before and managed to get the JMenuBar on the mac menu bar using
    System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");
    But for some reason when using leopard the JMenuBar seems to disappear totally. When i don't use the above line it shows on the JFrame as it should do.
    System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name", "AppName");
    The above line doesn't work either with OS X 10.5
    Anyone have any experience with this and had any success?
    Thanks,
    Sion

    Hi Sion
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You might be able to work around these problems using Jar Bundler, which takes a Jar file and converts it into a Mac OS X application. One of the options is to use the top line menu bar (instead of having it at the top of the frame).
    Find Jar Bundler in /Developer/Applications/Java Tools

  • Is their a way to restore my mac menu bar to factory settings?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am a software trainer, and as a result, when I present my classes, I remove all the menu items from my menu bar on my MacBook Pro so as to create a clean workspace. The problem is, I actually want all of those menulet's there the other 99% of the time, and after every class I teach, I have to one by one go through the system pref's to turn them back on. I use the same menulet's that come with the mac out of the box, so is their a way of restoring the menu to factory settings with a couple of clicks? You know, kind of like how you can reset your home page layout on an iPhone or iPad?
    Thanks in advance...
    Jack

    Thanks OrangeMarlin, I thought of doing that for a while but for some reason always dismissed it. That makes total sense because then not only can I have a nice clean menu bar but I don't have to worry about students seeing my personal files.
    Thanks!

  • How do I remove the Adobe updater from the Mac menu bar?

    I would like to remove the Adobe Updater from my menu bar for my Mac, I found a lot of instruction to remove it for other versions of the updater, but the I can't find that option in the new CS6 updater.
    If there is a way to completely stop the updater from running, that would be useful too.
    I also don't understand why the updater say "4" in the menu bar, I only have Photoshop installed, and there are no update avaiable.

    I am one of the many for whom Application Manager just started to crash every time I tried to open it. I was also getting the 'trial' dialog box, then a request for a serial number, even though I subscribe to Creative Cloud.
    After hours with Adobe Tech Support, I have gone the around-your-elbow-to-get-to-your-mouth method of creating a second user and installing CC apps there...hopefully this is temporary situation, but a girl has to work.
    My question is this: how do I remove the updater notifications from the menu bar [original user] if I can't open Application Manager? It crashes every time...besides, Tech Support had me send it to the trash and delete it. I went to my other user ID, updated all, but I'm still showing the annoying update badge in my original menu bar. [Altho' Camera Raw failed to update...that's another issue]
    Please advise. I had CS5.5 Design Premium...maybe it would be easier just to upgrade that to CS6 and ditch Creative Cloud!
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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?

  • Mac Menu Bar Unresponsive in Dreamweaver CS 5.5

    Hi all,
    I keep having the same problem where when I try to click on menu bar items in DW (file, edit, view, etc), they won't do anything when clicked, and it seems like there's a delay when items are highlighted on mouse over.  Anyone else having a simiar problem & know how to fix?  Thanks!

    First, disable any extensions to make sure it's not a bad extension causing the menu issue.  Sometimes extension can alter the menus and if something was wrong, then it could be causing your issue.  If not try deleting this configuration folder: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405604.html#main_user_config

  • Why Does My Mac Menu Bar Disappear While I Am In Safari?

    How can I reset so my Mac tool bar shows in Safari

    I had a problem in Yosemite where the top menu just disappeared, so I could not even tell if I was in Firefox or Safari. I could not see the toolbar which contained, for example, "Safari File Edit View History Bookmarks Develop Window Help". The same apple for the Firefox, Excel and all the other top toolbars.
    I accidentally solved it when I was in Excel and pressed option-command-v. This locked up and destroyed my Excel Spreadsheet and there was no "Undo" option on that command either. The side effect was that the top toolbar came back. It was a fault I have never seen before and one which I could not easily find on ant websites. Your fault seems to be one of the closest to what I had.

  • Restore Leopard Menu bar

    Hello. I'm currently on my 1.07ghz iBook G4. As some of you may be aware of, the menu bar in Leopard can only be changed to look translucent if you have a graphics card that supports Core Image. Mine doesn't, so I was looking for ways to make mine look translucent. I ended up editing some things in Terminal (stupid, I know) and now the menu bar just looks different, darker than before. I want to restore it to the default, and I can't figure out how to do it. If someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank you.
    -Aaron

    I've tried but I can't get it to revert back to normal. Is there a terminal command that would take it back to the defaul?

  • Restore toolbar / menu bar / gear icon Safari Windows

    Hi
    Some combination of keys got pressed and now I have no toolbar, menu bar or gear icon on Safari. Ctrl-shift-\ doesn't do anything either. Every post I've seen mentions clicking on buttons I don't have. The only bar I have is my bookmarks bar, and no way to select anything else. Right click doesn't do anything and I can't find a way to re-select my options.
    I've uninstalled Safari, logged out, logged in and reinstalled but no change. I can't delete cookies because...I don't have the buttons to click on.
    Assistance appreciated, this is driving me nuts!

    You can do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 28: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Can't use Spotlight/Airport from the Mac menu bar...

    Hi!
    A few days ago my menu bar stopped working like it used to.
    Pressing the magnifying glass to access the spotlight quick search only plays the "Funk" sound - i.e. the "not allowed" sound.
    Furthermore, sometimes when I try to access the Airport network list from the menu bar, I'm able to see the available networks, but moving the cursor onto the list opens the adjacent setting panel, battery for example.
    I've tried restarting the computer - no success...
    Thankful for answers, or tips!

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • Restoring contextual menu bar?

    By accident I managed to turn off the Tools contextual menu bar in Illustrator 10. I must have mistyped something... Luckily I found an image to illustrate what I'm after.
    More specifically, when I click on a tool I don't have any options along the top of my menu. What used to be only a click away, it is now gone.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I guess I'm out of luck then...
    ...I can see no such option.
    Thanks all for helping!
