I use remote desktop for windows in x11, as it’s the best version out there – believe it or not, it’s still better and faster than the latest version micro$ft released just a few weeks back. Anyhows, one annoyance for me is that the apple menu strip, often times will overlap your windows applications, making resizing them or closing them a bit of a nuisance.

Well it turns out that you can hide the menus strip in os x on an app by app basis.

You do the following.

  1. View the package contents of the application you wish to hide the menu bar for,
  2. Open the file Info.plist in a good text editor,
  3. Add the following to the list of keys:
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>

Bingo!

Your menu bar will now hide whenever you select the app.
