Click it and it will create a second desktop. then if you put an app in full screen** in each desktop (and hide the dock) your screen will keep the menu bar and you will still be able to flip between open apps just as if they were full screen!! I found a solution that seems to work.
Launch “System Preferences”. Click either “Universal Access preference” (OS X Lion and earlier) or “Accessibility preference” (OS X Mountain Lion and later). Click the “Mouse” tab (OS X Lion and earlier) or click the “Display” item in the sidebar (OS X Mountain Lion and later).
What happens if you share a screen with someone else?
While sharing your screen, make sure to always share the proper resolution, if you are sharing a screen within a big monitor that screen will appear very distant for certain attendees: In this screenshot, you can see that the browser window I’m sharing appears very small. This is because the screen resolution is too high.
Go to System Preferences. Go to General. Click the checkbox next to “Automatically hide and show the menubar.” Close the Settings menu. I found a way to reveal the dock when in fullscreen mode, however i didn’t find a way to permanently show the menu bar, sorry.
Is there a way to hide the dock?
You could just maximize a windows (not full screen, just drag a corner so the window fills the screen) and turn dock hiding on. I’d like this too! Well it’s mainly Safari.
How to always show menu bar on MacBook Pro?
The window/app will maximize in that desktop with the menu showing on top as desired (only if the options is unchecked in System Preferences > General > Automatically hide and show the menu bar). In Safari, enable View → Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen.
Maximizes the window without autohiding the menu bar (which I always thought was incredibly annoying). No fancy dot file editing required. Just press shift & alt/option and click on the green maximize button. Maximizes the window without autohiding the menu bar (which I always thought was incredibly annoying).
