From: "John Beamish" 

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.
