How do I disable the new titlebar in Modern Apps?

Do you have any example(s) of apps that have content you can't possibly click when the title bar is showing?  We can escalate these examples as conceptual pieces to the GUI team.

Best example is the Store and it's new design. It happens too often that the this (annoying) bar hides the elements I want to click on...

An on/off button or something similar would be great

I find it very annoying when you ask a question on a forum like this that, rather than answer your question, people try to convince you to do something else.  It causes clutter and unnecessary debate.  BajaPaul asked a simple question.  Please do one of the following:

1. Provide an answer to the question.
2. Provide information showing that it cannot be done.

Anything else is a waste of time and clutters the discussion, making the post entirely unusable.

In regards to adding this feature to placate users who cannot or will not adapt to the new paradigm,

if one is going to add a feature, make it optional, so that it can be disabled for those who do not want it.  Simple solution, more user friendly.  A true Win, Win, Win.

I apologize that I cannot answer this question, going somewhat against my point above, but I felt that this needed to be said.

Any subsequent responses should either answer the question, or say it's not possible so that users can just go to the last response, expecting it to be the answer, and then move on.

Thank you.

Until Someone comes up with a fix for this problem, I Usually right click the title bar to make it disappear again, without waiting, just something to mitigate the stress until the problem is fixed =)

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.

What about mouse AND keyboard users, people coming from other operating systems/desktop environments, or people who simply don't mind learning a better way of doing things? Speaking as someone who is used to working in keyboard driven tiling window managers, Windows 8's Modern/Metro UI is a much better experience. I can just type the name of the app/document/whatever I want straight from the start screen, and I can even several apps across the screen with a few keystrokes. Admittedly, Windows 8 doesn't do this as well as, say, Ratpoison or DWM, but at least it's something! These "mouse users" you're speaking of are attached to a very inefficient, clunky way of doing things, and it's a shame that Microsoft felt the need to appease them with such a token---because it provides no real additional functionality---and regressive gesture. You say that you "can't please everyone" and to an extent that's true, but to at least allow users the choice to enable or disable this pseudo-feature would have gone a long way.
