In my personal opinion I'm not interesting in options to close apps, Windows provide a lot of ways to perform that action, I'm interested in this thread because I really want to find a way to hide the title bar permanently, because the right flow of metro apps are interrupted by that bar ... I like Windows 8.1 and if I must describe metro UI, I would say it is the new concept that allow us interact comfortable and intuitively with different devices and programs, plus is cool !, I'm not looking return to previous versions, 8.1 is the most complete, but sincerely the title bar annoying me, while I'm using apps with actions at the top of the screen, the title bar is an obstacle, once and again I'm clicking the title bar instead of the app I'm using, why don't make the title bar optional? or increase the time required to show the title bar
How to disable top bar for closing apps in windows 8.1 update 1?
That bar is so annoying and ugly, especially when I'm using chrome in windows 8 mode... chaging apps is a odyssey

Please leave it as an option to users.

2014-08-03T08:07:59+00:00 Your right the Start screen & Tiles are completely optional, Myself I love the live titles and have no need for the desktop although I use the taskbar and it's toolbars "couple" of them all the time and like my apps full or split screen! I think they are trying for each to their own "personalized" . At first I was a Windows 8 hater and stubborn but now love it and 8.1 even more go figure!
See what I mean? Some love it & use it. Some don't hate it but, don't , really, use it. But, either way, not something to argue about or protest about either. Take it or leave it, no need to fuss just make a happy choice.
One can begin w/ love or hate or just learn, discover, use the OS w/ neutrality and an open mind be you an old fellow like me or a young kid or anyone in between.
For myself, I liked it in the beginning & that fondness only increased of time & as I grew to know it even more & better.
And, see? lots of people, really, do like & appreciate what Windows 8.1 is, offers and can do & how well it does things.
Cheers,
Drew
