Hiding the menu bar


Recommended Posts

When I use Opera 9.1 on Linux, I can just click Ctrl+F11 to toggle the menu bar. On Windows Vista, this doesn't work. Is there an alternative way of hiding the menu bar?

I believe in Windows the Ctrl+F11 is to fit the page to width...

EDIT: I found a workaround...

In the preferences and the keyboard setup, search for the string "Platform Unix, F11 alt"

Change the string so it says "Platform Windows-Unix-MCE, F11 alt" and when you press alt+F11 it will enable/disable the menu bar. You can also change the key combination as well... :)

Not really sure why they didn't make it cross-platform though... On the Mac it does fullscreen toggle, but the combo isn't default setup for anything in Windows...

I'll try this, thank you. :)
