When I doubleclick an editor tab in PhpStorm 2016.3.2, all tool windows are hidden, including the Project view. When I doubleclick the tab again, the previously open tool windows reappear. Very nifty for quickly utilizing 95% of my 13" laptop display (I should add that I don't really like the Distraction free mode since it is slower and also hides line numbers and other stuff).
Since I prefer working with keyboard shortcuts, I would like to have one that does the same thing, without having to click anything. I tried the Hide active tool window setting, and it's close but no cigar - it doesn't hide the Project view, only the bottom tool window.
You can use the Windows-Update Show-Hide tool to hide these old updates. Information on using it is here: Using the MS Windows Update Show-Hide Troubleshooter. The download link in this article is broken, however. Here is proper link: Download MS Windows Update Show-Hide Troubleshooter.
I have been experimenting with VMware workstation. When I autohide the toolbar at the top, it leaves a 1 pixel sliver. While this is functional, my OCD is bugging me. Is there a way to totally hide the toolbar?
Entering "Exclusive Mode" also will completely hide the full screen toolbar. (Exclusive Mode additionally will force most keyboard shortcuts to go to the guest instead of allowing them to be intercepted by the host.)
As a matter of a fact, VMWare has installed a feature on the newest version to hide the toolbar. There is a "thumbtack icon" on the left side of the toolbar. This allows you to have the toolbar be permanently or temporarily shown.
Download Show or hide updates from Microsoft. The downloaded file is named wushowhide.diagcab. Your web browser may report it as a virue or malware. But it is not. You should keep downloading it.
Sill I have the Icon on the taskbar. I want to hide the Icon so my project runs as a background process or service and the user can only close from the Task Manager (in this app, my main project uses the icon tray for access.) When I run the VI in labview it works great, but when I run in the run-time engine the icon shows up on the taskbar.
The Tools Window contains an icon for each of the tools. To activate a tool, click on the icon. The icon will show a border and highlighting indicating that it is the active tool. The Paintbrush is highlighted in the image below.
Similar methods can be used to hide ribbon in Excel, and the next section explains the details.
How to hide ribbon in ExcelIf the ribbon takes up too much space at the top of your worksheet, especially on a small screen laptop, you can collapse it to show only the tab names or hide the ribbon altogether.
Perhaps you have inadvertently hidden the ribbon with an errant keystroke or mouse click. To show all the commands again, click Ctrl + F1 or double-click any ribbon tab.
Whole ribbon missingMost probably your Excel somehow got into a "full screen" mode. To restore the ribbon, click the Ribbon Display Options button at the top-right corner, and then click Show Tabs and Commands. This will lock the ribbon at the top of the Excel window where it belongs. For the detailed instructions, please see How to unhide ribbon in Excel.
Contextual tabs disappearedIf the Tool Tabs specific to a particular object (such as a chart, image, or PivotTable) are missing, that object has lost focus. For the contextual tabs to appear again, simply select the object.
Add-in's tab missingYou've been using some Excel add-in (e.g. our Ultimate Suite) for a while, and now the add-in's ribbon is gone. Chances are the add-in was disabled by Excel.
To fix this, click File > Excel Options > Add-ins > Disabled Items > Go. If the add-in is in the list, select it and click the Enable button.
That's how you hide and show ribbon in Excel. I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!
Microsoft Word lets you show the ribbon menu for better access to Settings, or you can hide the ribbon to make some room to work inside a document or remove any excess to make sure you are productive and efficient. You can even reset the ribbon settings so they can go back to their defaults.
Not only can you choose to show or hide the Ribbon menu, but you can also automatically hide the ribbon. To Auto-hide the ribbon, click on the arrow button next to the minimize icon and choose the Auto-hide Ribbon option.
After you start the show, press the Ctrl+H keyboard shortcut. This shortcut will hide the mouse cursor and the navigation buttons (not in Kiosk mode) on the bottom left of the slide show window. To bring back these options, press the Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut.
Full screen mode hides the menu bar from view but you can access it by hovering your mouse at the top of your screen. In full screen mode, the toolbar can be hidden or shown from the View menu.
Toggling on the setting Settings > Dock > Auto-hide the Dock hides the dock as the setting hint says i.e The dock hides when any windows overlap with it, however when switching back to the Desktop the Dock appears.
However, the toolbar/header of the window is shared as well, which includes the title and the buttons to close the window etc. That does not look nice, especially for our use case. Is there any possibility to hide the toolbar and just share the pure content of the app? Is there anything planned in the future?
Great tip. Thnx. But does anybody know of a way to get safari to start in this true fullscreen mode without everything - without manually right-clicking the toolbar and selecting hide? I have been using SAFT until now, but with Lion i am not sure the developer bothers to make a fullscreen update for us customers.
Thanks Aikasse, I spent quite a few time thinking why it is possible in fullscreen mode of firefox to hide everything, but not in the fullscreen mode of safari... I really looked hard to find an option to hide tab bar, toolbar of safari in screen mode, finally I have come across your tip... But now, say that I would like to bring toolbar back after some time in fullscreen mode, then when I go to that gray zone above adress bar, now I double-click and nothing appears... So, I have to go to View-Customize toolbar, and only after toolbar comes back... Is there other way around it?
Apple should at least provide an option to either auto hide or always show - like the "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" setting under view. It would be interesting to know why they chose not to offer this option.
It's also strange that they didn't impement full screen mode on the iPad. On the iPod touch the toolbar auto hides (I would like to see this as an option on the iPad). It's another inconsistency that is very weird to me.
As described in earlier replies one can do this by control click on the toolbar and choose hide toolbar but I needed it to be automatically. Accessibility Inspector (which is a small app included in XCode) to the rescue. With this I could start exploring the UI elements of the Safari window. I got everything up and running in plain mode but nothing in fullscreen mode. This was because Safari re arranged the UI elements when it moves to full screen mode. (Some hours of head scratching...)
Well, for Windows users, you are able to get it to be clean except it will show you the currently open tabs. As you simply go to View and click hide on all available toolbars etc. To undo the hiding where you can resume viewing the address bar and others, you simply press Alt. and go to View and select Show ______bar etc. until you have all of the desired toolbars. I'm not sure how it is for Mac users or on any other software.... And I know this is a ridiculously late response, but hopefully it helps someone else trying to fix this same issue later on. ^.^ Good luck!
Outlook has several different ways to control how the Ribbon (toolbar) tabs and commands are shown. And in recent releases, it changed to not showing all tabs and commands by default. That is why the Ribbon may appear collapsed, hidden, minimized or missing. So, some of the commands you use most frequently are not visible. We have had quite a few customer questions related to this change.
Sometimes using TAB to hide the tool dialogs doesn't work. This happens when the focus is inside the tool dialogs instead of in the image. To remedy this, put the focus on the image, or use the menu command mentioned above.
Use this tool to keep text and pictures that you copy to the clipboard for up to 30 days. You can quickly paste them whenever you need with just a few clicks. The tool's window lists the copied items and shows in which applications they were copied. If you need to quickly find something in the clipboard history, use search or add the frequently used items to favorites. If you don't want to collect copied items from some applications, you can either pause the tool or add these apps to the exclusion list.
Use this tool to convert videos so they can be played in the Video app on an iPhone or iPad. Simply drag a video, for example your favorite movie or TV show, to the tool's icon or window and it is converted. The tool can convert almost any video format and can add converted video to your iTunes Library.
Use this tool to set up a countdown to a specific date, such as a birthday, a deadline, or a vacation. Just enter the day and month, and Date Countdown starts counting down the days, showing the number of remaining days in the tool's icons in the Dock and the Finder. When the date arrives, Date Countdown displays a message. You can stop the countdown by flipping the On/Off switch in the app's main window.
