How do I disable the new titlebar in Modern Apps?

Count me in as well. I've been using the Metro RDP app since Win8.0 and never had a problem until the dreaded update that brought this title-bar along...

Since that update, I close the RDP app by accident about 3 to 4 times a week because the godawful titlebar jumps in front of my RDP session. Not a big deal if you're clicking in the top middle of your screen, but closing a maximized window in RDP makes you quit the whole RDP app in no time!

I particularly like the ability to quickly switch between desktop and Metro RDP app through the upper left corner. I Always use my RDP on a second screen and it's nice to switch back and forth between desktop programs and RDP.

When using the desktop RDP in full screen with multiple sessions, you need to move your mouse all the way up for the RDP bar to appear, minimize the window, then move your mouse all the way down to click the RDP icon on the task bar to select what session you'd like to show now. With the metro RDP app, this is sooooo much easier because everything is on the top of the screen.

After having closed the Metro RDP app by accident for the gazillionth time, I came across this thread. Since the title bar initially wasn't there and since it's obvious that this is a real productivity-PITA, please consider giving the users a choice to disable this thing...

Here's another "me, too."

Indeed, the "Store" app has tab-like constructs along the top of the display, using a mouse to navigate between each of these is made difficult due to this dropdown titlebar.

I understand pleasing everybody no matter what you do is difficult, but I feel that in cases like this it should be an option (maybe even for each application but globally would work fine in my case [I'd disable it]).

I have a use case where this pop-up interferes with the screen.

When using XAML Spy to debug a store app there is a small "XAML Spy" button near the top of the screen. The normal way to reach it is to push the mouse to the top and then move across, if necessary, rather than carefully aim for it. However, with this update the Title Bar pops-up over the button.

Very annoying.

When I first got Windows 8.1 I was a bit puzzled by the lack of a task bar on store apps. Pretty soon I found out how to use the mouse to close and move an app. After that I was happy with the new layout.

After I had adjusted to using the mouse with the original 8.1 UI this update arrived with a new way of doing the same thing. I don't like this new-new way. Eventually I found it so frustrating that I wanted to disable it, and started looking for an option

• assuming the option would be there. I am astonished that Microsoft haven't provided such an option.

I just don't like that title-bar popping up. It's intrusive.

I am looking for a solution here, our app Shopperbies uses the top right hand corner to close various forms and sometimes when users move the mouse too quickly to the close button the title bar appears and the user closes the app instead of the form within the app.
