A continuing "whinge" of mine:  why do we even have the menus and toolbars
appearing at all times?  When I'm working in the program "space"
(a document in
Word, a spreadsheet in Excel, etc.) I don't need the  menu options.  Instead,
why not hide them and restore them when I move the cursor to the Window
titlebar or press the "Windows" key (or, since that is currently
linked to the
Windows menu, ctrl+Windows).

So ... when I move the cursor to/through the Title bar, the menu bar and others
are displayed ... as long as the mouse pointer is on the Window title bar or on
a menu bar or on a toolbar then they stay displayed. Right now, the closest I
can come to that is to set an option that fully hides them until I go through a
sequence of clicks:

RightMouseButton on the Menubar unused space, click on the bar I want to select
click on the option I want
RightMouseButton on the Menubar unused space (any toolbar unused space,
actually)
click again on the bar I want hidden.
