Mac OS X Mavericks + VLC top bar
Mavericks, and its new "multi display support" adds a grey-ish bar to the top of VLC when watching anything full screen.
I never found a way to get rid of it, and it has annoyed me ever since. Until yesterday...
This is how to get rid of it:
- play movie
- drag to 2nd screen
- click Video > Float on Top
- go full screen (cmd+F or Video > Fullscreen)
