Auto-hide the dock and menubar on a per-app basis
For Dock hiding i have been using ASM for some time now, It has moor features that i dont use.
I am just using the dock hiding part of this for some app's you just have to add them to a list under Special Features and set dock hiding to ON This is only for the dock hiding part

Be sure that it goes in alphabetical order, otherwise it won't work (i.e. LSUIPresentationMode goes after LSMinimumSystemVersion but before NSAppleScriptEnabled).
What?
Dictionary files do not have to be in order. They don't even preserve order. As long as you keep the key and value together (i.e. don't put the key at the top and the value at the bottom, or any other combination of non-adjacent positions), and don't mix them into any of the other keys or values or between the key and value of any other pair, it will work, regardless of whether you keep it sorted.

This is fantastic. I was actually working on a picture-frame and info station based on an aging G3 Powerbook. I needed an easy way to hide the menu-bar and here it is! (This also works on the Finder.)
Now if only there were an easy way to make this change system-wide instead of per-app..

I remember looking at menushade a while back but didn't recall transparency being an option. I see that it now is, however, it still leaves the menu bar shadow visible, and the space is still unusable by anything but the menubar.
What I'd love is something like menushade, but allows you to use the space the menubar usually takes up (which this hint allows you to do).

Menufela (ninjakitten.us) allows hiding the menu bar for all apps.

Doesn't quite work with Photoshop CS3. I launch Photoshop and the menubar and dock both disappear. But when Photoshop is fully loaded they both return. Any ideas?

You are not alone. I tried this on multiple applications and it did not work as stated. The dock and menu would be hidden while the application was loading, but then as soon as the application was loaded, both the menu and dock reappear. I give it 1 star for getting my hopes up and wasting my time.

Fantastic hint! This is something I've wanted to do with my favourite app, Google Earth, for some time, but I have not wanted to install APE. Full screen viewing goodness with just a couple of moments copy and paste. Well done, cheers.

We are going to appreciate this when we set up kiosks and public displays. Super hint!

there's also a free app called DockLess, which perfoms all those changes for you :).
Auto-hide the dock and menubar on a per-app basis
.. which has never performed reliably for me, in all the years it's been out. Editing plists is a cinch, tho, with Property List Editor, whiich gets hauled out of the Developer Folder and put right in Utilities. It comes in handy sooo many ways.
Dockless does something completely different: It hides an app from appearing *inside* the Dock and it *removes* its menubar for good. In other words: Dockless turns a full app into an 'invisible' background process. I use a couple of apps that require such a treatment although the developers might have done it themselves in the first place, e.g. Hardware Growler or the PageSpinner helper app PageViewer.

I've tried applying this on finder, works like charm exept it's disabling spotlight… :/
Any idea ? Mac App Bar Hide App

How did you manage to do this with the finder? The hint works for firefox and mail for me but, I'd like to do this with preview and finder too.

This is an awesome hint, and very easy to implement, unlike some other cool hints that require a crazy amount of work.
However, one thing that should be mentioned, if you decide to do this with the Property List Editor (recommended), you need to change the Class for the LSUIPresentationMode entry you create to Number. By default it will come up as String, which will not work. Then for the Value field, put in 4.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball posted a link to Megazoomer just today. Megazoomer is a freeware SIMBL plug-in which, when toggled with Command-Return, enables system-wide zooming of any window to full screen, hiding the Dock and Menu bar simultaneously. Pressing the hot key combo again will return the window to normal. Moving the cursor to the top of the screen will cause the Menu bar to appear, but the Dock will only return when the window is returned to normal. I downloaded and installed it, and it works beautifully. Caveat: it only works with Cocoa apps; Carbon apps such as Finder, iTunes, Photoshop etc, are out of luck.
Why the hell would you want to go full-screen in a document window, unless you're some sort of one-track minded PC user?
Mac windows don't maximize--they zoom to fit their contents. Where it makes sense to present an application full-screen, such as in QuickTime Player or the iTunes visualizer, that option is provided. Anywhere else, maximized windows are sacrilege.

This works less than perfectly for me.
You can hide the menu bar in the Finder, but Spotlight stops working. When using BBEdit with the Finder's menu bar hidden, the Finder's menu bar becomes active when trying to use BBEdit's menu options. In Firefox, the menus don't work, at least not the history—this was enough to make me remove the edit from Firefox's info.plist. Did I do something wrong? Hasn't anyone else experienced this behavior?
Auto-hide the dock and menubar on a per-app basis
I get the same behaviour in firefox, but if i want to use the history i can choose 'show in sidebar' and it works, i think it's a small price to pay, although i would like it to work properly. https://hrmyqmw.weebly.com/blog/best-app-to-clean-ram-on-mac.

I was really excited about this when I saw it on TUAW when reading my RSS feeds this morning, but I didn't read the title close enough. I really wanted this for Photoshop CS2, but when I applied the changes I noticed the menubar hide. Like I said, reading AND comprehending the article and title would have helpful for me. But I checked out the linked docs and decided to use a LSUIPresentationMode of 1, instead of 4, which appears to only hide the dock and do exactly what I want. Thanks for posting this!

This still seems to me like an excellent hint if I were able to implement it properly however so far it has only succeeded in nearly giving me a stroke..
I am a newcomer to the 'mac' world and have only had my macPro (running leopard) a few weeks so it was perhaps slightly over zealous of me to dive into adding lines of code however I was careful to input the code as instructed above and made sure there were no errors..obviously I did something wrong though as I am now unable to boot my machine into Leopard and get instead an unresponsive blue screen of death. I do not even get as far as the log in screen. I have tried using 'command' + 'S' at start-up. After running 'fsck -y' it tells me the 'HD is ok'. I originally applied the additional lines of code outlined to the safari info.plist file. Any and every bit of help would be tremendously appreciated. I am at a total (and panicked) loss..(I dont even care if it involves a fresh intall and loss of all existing data but the cd drawer wont even respond to allow me to insert the Leopard disk!) Hide icon bar at the bottom on Macbook, iMac, Mac OS X
The bottom dock on mac is annoying ? Today P&T IT BROTHER is here to teach you how to hide the bottom dock when it’s not in use. It is easy to do, but recently we have realized that many people who purchase Apple computers from PC (Microsoft Windows) do not know this tip. Let’s find out how !
Let’s hide the icon dock !
1. Click the apple icon then click “System Preferences”.
2. Click “Dock”.
3. Check “Automatically hide and show the Dock”.
4. Done !!
Here in the Dock setup page, you can also change the position of your icon bar to left or right. Uplet app for mac. Also you can change the icon dock to smaller or larger. We hope this blog post is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here. ? ? ?
