Hide finder toolbar!!??

Hi yall, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the finder toolbar disappear/hide like the dock can. The desktop would look so much smoother without the toolbar hanging out up there. Thanks!

You may find the answer here:

Follow this at your own risk

For the record, that thing is called the Menu Bar, as it displays all menus for all Apps.

IMO, it's dysfunctional to make it disappear, because it always tells you which App is currently active, and gives you acces to it's functions. Also, the clock and other goodies can reside here, so it is very useful.

But hey, your eyecandy is up to you to decide...

Try MenuShade. Its freeware and works pretty well.

Thanks yall I will take a look at those. Really I just want the menu bar to show and hide just like the dock. Can't wait thanks.

I agree, aggiemac2009, I want as clean of a look as possible to maximize screen real estate and only want menus and items to show as I need them (part of the reason for my switch to mac. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear menushade is pretty good.

Well I just tried menushade and it works great. The menubar is almost completely transparent when I am looking at the desktop. When any application is opened it returns to its normal color. Everyone try it out it works great I love it!
