How can I hide my top menu bar on Mac OS X?

mac menu-bar

I need to temporarily (5 min) hide my top menu bar. Is there a glitch, or something that will let me do that?


You have a few choices.

  • MenuFela, site down, claims to do this.
  • MegaZoomer claims to zoom an app and hide the menu bar. Not sure if this will work, for example, with the Finder.
  • MenuShade does a so-so job. Hidden menu, but the shadow is there and the space is not usable
  • According to this hint you can edit the plist of the app and have the menu bar become hidden. Add the following to the Info.plist in the app bundle:
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
