Hide the main menubar using SetSystemUIMode
Authored by: unixgold on Apr 04, '06 11:59:31AM

I've been looking for something like this for a while. Generally, I know there aren't any hacks out there that will auto hide/show the menubar but this is something I consider "closer" to such a hack. It's too bad Apple doesn't have this as a feature, but you can always hope it'll end up in there right?

An alternative would be to use the utility MenuShade, which automatically dims, or even blacks out, the menu bar until you mouse over it.

Hide the main menubar using SetSystemUIMode
Authored by: unixgold on Apr 05, '06 06:03:31PM

I do that currently and shade it one bar from the left (and hover is at the same place) so it's permanently shaded. I'm looking for an app which sits in the menubar (or not at all as an option) and actively hides the menubar leaving it to be unhidden with a simple mouse movement. Just like the dock.

I've got some code that works but it needs some serious tweaking. Maybe I'll email this website with a link to my sourceforge page (once I get it up, hehe)
