That bar is so annoying and ugly, especially when I'm using chrome in windows 8 mode... chaging apps is a odyssey

    I'm using Chrome in windows 8 version because it is really nice. I use the tablet as netbook and tablet. 

    I arrived to this forum exactly looking for a solution to take out the title bar.

    Thanks.

    It's, actually, called "Exit Bar" and cannot be removed or disabled.  In Windows 10 it is above the top edge of an APP window (not on top of the APP) nor it does not appear & disappear but, holds a fixed position.

    Sorry you didn't receive the answer you sought.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    Gee thanks Drew! so glad your entertained tonight!

    BTW I am sure the app bar can be disabled even if you have to tweak the code or system registry I am very sure there is a way! Now I just need to find the guy or gal that knows how, you obviously don't have a clue! they are out there somewhere!! But thanks again!!  Scott

    Thanks for your reply, Drew. Good to know. And good also that Microsoft is hearing the opinion of its users for the next iteration of the OS.
