How do I disable the new titlebar in Modern Apps?

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]).

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...

Remember that this poster was given MVP status because he is supposed to volunteer helpful opinions, not tell everyone how they are meant to use their machines. Although we have varied opinions on his opinion, most of them are against his tone and manner to this subject, which I have to personally say is a little rude and confronting as well as plain bossy (again, my own opinion. Take it or leave it. Don't bother me about it).

And what if we are running Windows RT? If we didn't have that access to the desktop, and we needed to plug in or use a wireless mouse and keyboard on our tablet, to access other computers, how could we possibly even install a non-Windows 8 style variant of Remote Desktop application onto our tablets/netbooks/[insert device here]? 

I use Windows 8.1 (the non-tablet variant) and have issues with the Windows 8 style Chrome interface, not because of Chrome but because of the Window Title Bar. The Windows 8 style Chrome has its own little window manager which is amazing for myproductivity (and possibly many others), yet if I try to close a window in Chrome, I end up closing Chrome.

I do not even use the taskbar, and the developers have been nice enough to give us an option to disable that, but to force us to use this title bar is a bit ridiculous. When you already have users accustomed to the old Windows 8 environment, without the desktop enhancements (which I think personally takes away some of the original "vibe" from the Metro design language) it is a bit annoying to have users get used to an entirely new way of dealing with windows. We do not even have the option to permanently keep the title bar shown! How is this supposed to mimic the old desktop style in any way? It gets in the way more so with it being hidden than it would either being disabled permanently or being shown permanently.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all we ask for, and have been asking for, is the option to remove the title bar. What we are not asking is to remove it from the Windows environment completely. And as was stated before: if another program can do these actions as "tweaks" we need to pay for, how come Microsoft aren't willing to add a single option to allow a certain target population to work about 10% more productively (which, in a high stress fast paced environment can mean a huge difference between meeting a deadline or having to redesign their approach to their work).

Like I said, let me know if what I have said isn't completely true so I can change my judgement based on that.

looks like this has been done to death, but my 2 cents anyway.

when browsing, sometimes there is search bars or similar at the top, selecting it with the mouse can accidentally touch the top of the screen bringing the "titlebar" down covering said textbox, etc.  very annoying.

that just one example.

me, I think a simple option, titlebaron="false" / titlebaron="true" would be great!

cheers,

Just stop fighting your customers and add a simple feature to disable the title bar. It's only a few lines of codes man wtf..
