How do I disable the new titlebar in Modern Apps?

I really do need to wait 3 seconds to change tabs on my Google Chrome now? wtf

Totally agree with this post.  It's  very easy to click on remote desktop title bar instead of the application you are closing on your remote computer, and then you disconnect your remote session.  Annoying!  Do you have the option to move it to the bottom of your screen like the taskbar?

The logic is hugely flawed. The entire reason, the ONLY reason Microsoft put the title bars in the metro apps was to assist/appease mouse users. To say that the desktop is what should be used by mouse users and not metro apps is dumb as obviously this was not Microsoft's line of thought since they added mouse elements to metro apps. Touch users never see the title bar, only mouse users.

At least when you right click the title bar it disappears, which is an ok workaround, but I would rather it be gone altogether.

I agree. When you try to please everyone, we all lose.  But I see it the other way around too. We already have a perfect environment for mouse users, a special place that has been built and carefully refined over decades. We call that the desktop. So mouse users should use it.

Ok let me get this straight...

You've introduced Windows 8 as an environment that was supposed to be used by both touch users, AND mouse/keyboard users. We make suggestions, and you implement them your way, and when we come back to you, and tell you how we want to see them changed to make them even better, you cut off mouse/keyboard users by telling them they should just stick to using the desktop?

I'm sorry, but this is bad form, and reflects VERY poorly on Microsoft's reputation in the eyes of the public. I could just as easily swear off all Microsoft products, and go with free operating systems like Linux,, and get rid of all of my microsoft hardware, if that is how you feel about the people who purchase your products. If you stop fighting us on the issue, and actually listen to what we're trying to tell you, then you might actually gain more favor.

What we're trying to tell you is that we want to see the title bar that was added to windows store apps in the windows 8.1 update to be something we can enable, and disable with a check box somewhere. It can be in taskbar options, or it can be somewhere in the PC Settings app.

The reason for this request is that for mouse users, this title bar gets in the way of apps that have interface elements at the top of the app, which are covered up by the title bar, when it appears. This impedes efficiency, and ease of access for mouse users.

Confining mouse users to only the desktop leaves half of the operating system completely unused to uselessly take up RAM, while touch users have the use of both the desktop, and windows store apps.

Your logic is flawed.

It is a pity that Microsoft all of a sudden started to listen to customers and Nielsen. They were in such a flow with modern interface. No watch and observe Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. Slowly the at first so boldly abandoned and superfluous Start Menu returned. A nightmare for manuel and course material authors. It's a mess.
