this is a mavericks issue.
you need to go to system preferences: mission control and disable "displays have separate spaces"

So this issue can be fixed! Great! Thanks you!
I just cannot find "system preferences"... Is this a file somewhere? Or a tab in VPT7? Cannot find it. I just see prefs.txt
Thank you for your help!

system preferences for mac. From your previous post it looks like you are on windows?

Hi everyone

For my recent installation I ended up using a MacMini with Yosemite to run VPT7: that way I can get it to automatically launch with my presets and go fullscreen.

Ideally I'd like to use the newer OSX beta 4 version – improve HAP playback etc. but I have not found a way to remove the menu bar when I go fullscreen.

I am testing this on a MacBookPro12,1, Intel Core i5, 2.7 GHz, running Sierra.

I have unchecked "Displays Have Separate Spaces" in Mission Control and logged out and then back in…

I also made sure I set menubar to 0 in the prefs text file.

but I still see the menu bar in VPT when I go fullscreen (esc)…

Has anyone else encountered similar problems with the Mission Control adjustment not working in Sierra?

I know that I am not being helpful....... probably.

I dumped OSX completely and moved all of my work to Windows7 when I encountered exactly the same problem in Logic9.

It cost me BootCamp (free), a Windows7 licence, some software purchases, and about 3 weeks to rebuild all of my current projects.

But it was worth it.

Too many problems with no solutions on OSX nowadays.

Apple have no interest in professional users since the iPhone successes, and they make life extremely difficult for independent programmers like HC.

Microsoft are now "following"....... but their support is better, and windows10 is still "avoidable".

David.
