When the Windows taskbar is hidden, it sometimes doesn't always fully hide. Occasional the top is still visible and it creates a small bar across the entire bottom of the screen. Other times it does fully hide and everything is just completly black.
In Eclipse when you click twice on the tab of the editors Eclipse hide all other windows except the one you write code in and when you do that again(clicking the tab of the document all windows comeback again).
Hiding window borders (including titlebars) is easily done on Plasma on a per-window basis using the Window Operations Menu, default shortcut: Alt+F3, or on a per-application basis, by setting Window Rules. But that is quite slow and cumbersome, as you would have to do it manually for every window. Not good. You can also set a keyboard shortcut to hide and show window borders. Better, but you still have to do it manually.
This way you have the best of both worlds: floating windows still have titlebars and fancy shadow borders and whatnot, and maximised windows have none of that clutter, letting you utilise your screen real-estate to the fullest.
Even without messing with the hardware, i wouldn't trust microsoft's ridiculous idea of "security" any day of the week. Even with everything set to the most paranoid settings, someone might easily be able to write and install a windows driver/exploit to read your linux partitions.
On all PCs I've used all windows can be conveniently hidden instantly to reveal the desktop just by a single mouse click outside of the current window (or clicking an open space on the Windows desktop). How can this be setup on a mac? It's so annoying having to remember the **** keyboard shortcut to minimize all or hide all and requires too much finger acrobatics when I am able to remember, which is often after trying the incorrect combination first. Clicking outside a window on a mac does nothing and I'm just left with a window that insists on obstructing whatever it is that I need on the desktop.
And you can not hide, but push aside all applications, thus revealing the desktop underneath. You can do that with a gesture on the trackpad - spreading your thumb and four fingers (again, pretty suggestive, I'd say).
I use CTRL-W _ to horizontally "push" the other windows out of the way making the current window the expand to the largest available area. Use CTRL-W to do the same vertically. I'm sure there's probably a way to do both at once, but I haven't noticed or looked for it. Look in :help CTRL-W
In some cases, it may not be appropriate to show these notifications, for example, if you want to hide regular status updates, or if you want to hide all notifications to the employees in your organization.
You can hide notifications that describe regular events related to the health and security of the machine. These notifications are the ones that don't require an action from the machine's user. It can be useful to hide these notifications if you find they're too numerous or you have other status reporting on a larger scale (such as Windows Update for Business reports or Microsoft Configuration Manager reporting).
You can hide all notifications that are sourced from Windows Security. This option may be useful if you don't want users of the machines from inadvertently modifying settings, running antivirus scans, or otherwise performing security-related actions without your input.
When I was developing an option I thought it would be good if we have an option of hiding the close button instead of simply hiding. Since even when we hide the close button the tip strip is still available. I am proposing this idea after searching the forum.
It's presence is part of the visual chrome that helps users identify the edges of windows when working with many windows open, so even if you disable it, you often aid your users more by leaving it visible.
So, I know that the preferred way to run a touch project live is perform mode or the touch player, but for my past two shows I have needed to have the network editor open on my monitor while I am running the show on my projector, so that I can tweak things. The only problem I have run into is that the viewer window which I have maximized on the projector still has that windows bar at the top. You know, the one with minimize, restore, and close buttons on the right.
Ctrl + P is for Ctrl + /, not Ctrl + \. The other alternative to Ctrl + \ is Ctrl + . (dot). And you can create custom key bindings on windows using Auto Hot Key or similar apps. I use Better Touch Tool for that on Mac.
We have library patrons logging in with an overly restrictive profile so they can't do damage to the computer, so running log on/off scrips is a no go since they have no admin rights. I need to disable writing to the My Documents folder, and remove windows search. Does anyone know how to do either without requiring me to touch individual PCs and disable search through the control panel?
This setting does not affect the Search items on the Windows Explorer context menu or on the Start menu. To remove Search from the Start menu, use the "Remove Search menu from Start menu" setting (in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar). To hide all context menus, use the "Remove Windows Explorer's default context menu" setting."
We have a need to hide shares on our server. We've recently discovered the technique of naming a share with the dollar sign ($) suffix, but this would require renaming our existing shares and doing so on a large group of PCs and laptops. We are hoping to find a setting we could activate on the server, similar to the samba project's browseable=no option ( -3/smb.conf.5.html#BROWSEABLE)
You are going to have to add "$" to the end of the share to 'hide' it. There is no other way to do it BUT, Group Policy (GP Preference, in particular) can very easily map the drives without any downtime for your users. With GPP you get very granular control via OU, security groups, etc (all things that are a part of AD. That's why @duenni mentioned it). I would just do this during a maintenance window. If you just check all the shares and permissions to ensure they work, your users should not even notice.
Do you manage your files, screenshots or shortcuts on your Mac desktop? If so, then you probably find yourself needing to clear away your open windows and applications quickly to access your desktop. I find myself needing to do this multiple times during my workday. If you manage the real estate of your Mac like me, your screen might look like this:
No, there is no such functionality, but if you want to interact with desktop (as opposed to just taking a quick peek which can be done with Exposé's Show Desktop function) you actually want to have Finder active with no windows showing, here's how to get there:
