OS X Sierra Menu bar visible on 2nd Monitor using AirPlay

Postby bygeorge420 » 12 Aug 2017 07:37

Just upgraded to OS X Sierra.

When connected to a second monitor via AirPlay the menu bar of VLC still shows translucently. Had the same problem in Mavericks and found a work around, but that work around doesn't correct it in Sierra. I remember it was a simple preference change. Search here and tried the suggestions to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Unless you are doing full screen on the second display, the menu bar will show. This is something that is more of a macOS behaviour. For details:

Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Yes I do indeed want to run in full screen mode. It is in the full screen mode I want the menu bar to disappear behind what ever I am playing on the 2nd monitor.
