hide or auto-hide menu bar
im using reaper in full screen mode, so i am completely separated from any distraction (start bar, programs running, clock / date, etc.)
i think some users are power users and have a lot of things memorized as key strokes and mouse and/or tools... which would almost completely eliminate the need for a distracting menu bar at the top while in full screen mode
it would be great if we could hide it all together, or at least auto-hide it (like auto-dock hide in mac osx, or task bar auto-hide in windows)
that way we could be even MORE distraction free!

I just tried the full screen mode (F11). I admit I like it (had forgotten about it).
The distracting part about the menu bar at the top is the color. If it was dark with not-too-bright text, it would look great (w/ default 3.0 theme). A similar look to that of the timeline actually.
I would vote for this feature first (I am not an expert in Reaper so I need my menus), and then a hide/auto-hide option.

I almost never use the toolbar. The few commands I usually use I have memorized, and for those that I don't, it's usually at the item level so I use the right click menu. It would be cool to hide the menu.

If fullscreen mode is in question, then yes, could be useful. And then it would scroll down into the view when mouse cursor approaches the top of the screen.

perhaps a short work around is modifying the windows theme

The scroll down to view should be optional 'though, because e.g. in my case I have the Windows task bar at the top (with a utility to delay its appearance, so it doesn't get visible every time I touch the most upper scanline with the mouse pointer).
Maybe an AutoHotKey script could help, as we might have to wait a looooong time to get this feature implemented.

+ for both hide and autohide options, I love to get rid of anything that is visually distracting or takes up much needed space.

Hello,
This is an old post but I just found a solution to remove the menu bar with autohotkey
Just copy the following code into a text file rename it from .txt to .ahk, then run it with Autohotkey
Launch Reaper -> press F3
Code:
F3::
{
IfWinActive, ahk_exe reaper.exe
ToggleMenu()
return
}
ToggleMenu()
{
;static associative array for keeping track of all windows that have had their menus hidden
static MenuArray := {}
;find active window handle in array / add to array if not found
hWin := WinExist("A")
hMenu := null
hMenu := MenuArray.Remove(hWin)
if (hMenu = null)
{
;store a reference to the window's menu in the array
hMenu := (DllCall("GetMenu", "uint", hWin))
MenuArray[hWin] := hMenu
;hide the menu by uncoupling it from the parent window
DllCall("SetMenu", "uint", hWin, "uint", 0)
}
else
{
;show menu by recoupling it to the parent window
DllCall("SetMenu", "uint", hWin, "uint", hMenu)
}
}

It would be awesome if we could do this in notation as well... full screen notation / midi editor.
