Hello,

Not sure what topic to ask this question in.

The Menu bar for Revolution Studio 2.7.2, Using on Mac OS X 10.4.7. I was wondering if there is a known way of closing it so I can work on a full screen program, witch it currently blocks or covers up part of the screen I need to access and see. As all the icons accessed by the in program menu bar can be accessed by the OS menu bar I see no problem of having it closed.

Thanks for any info.

Hi Obleo,

try "hide stack "revMenuBar" to make it invisible and show stack "revMenubar" to show it again. I would not recommend close / go as this might be quirky.

All the best,

Malte

Thanks malte,

Works great. I had no clue that it was called revMenuBar.

Thanks again.

In the "View" menu of Rev, there is an entry that shold say "Revolution UI
Elements in Lists", if you select that entry, you can view all the Rev stacks
and cards in the "Application Browser" window.

From there you can tinker a bit with other stacks of the IDE. Standard
warning of course, "Play at your own risks!" as it's quite easy and possible
to lock things up and then you have to kill Rev and lose anything you
haven't saved.

Ah I always wondered what that was for, actually I just found an easier way to close or quit the menu bar or toolbar in Revolution. Under "View" if I uncheck the Toolbar Text and the Toolbar Icons it removes from view, Would not even played around with that if Garrett did not method the Revolution Element in List thing. So thanks for the info. this helps access to one issue faster and easier and with future tinkering around.

Thanks again both; Malte and Garrett

You're welcome.

If you are ever unsure what a stack is called, you can open the messagebox and type

put the mousestack

then move the mouse over the stack and then hit return.

All the best,

Malte

you can also use the messagebox (or create a little stack with one button)

hide menubar

## will hide the menubar and the dock on OS X and the taskbar on win!

And:

show menubar

## will... well you guess


Best

P.S.
This will also work in standalones, of course!
