Is there anyway to turn off the beginning of turn announcement in civ5?

At the beginning of every turn a bar appears across the screen announcing the name of your leader, your civ and the year. I dont know why, but this drives me nuts, and I'd love to be able to turn it off, but cant find an option to.


Solution 1:

There is no official way to remove that "bar". There might be a mod for it though. Look around in the mod browser from the main menu.
