MenuAndDockless is a SIMBL plugin for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion) enabling you to choose for every native Cocoa application wether it should show the Menu bar and the Dock or not. In addition you can save the default window size and position (in the latest version this will also work for multiple display setups), automatically adjust window sizes or center and arrange windows and toggle a fullscreen mode (in the latest version MAD can even fake the new OS X Lion Fullscreen Feature for yet unsupported Apps) individually for each application by customizable
I love this Application! only wish there was systemwide setting to open all applications in full screen. I have set up MenuAndDockless systemwide to hide Menubar and Dock, when i open application Menubar Hides but leaves toolbar of application at same spot so the space I see on top of Toolbar where Menubar was looks little annoying.
I wish Developers fix this Issue By the way this Application Rocks!

There is nothing I can do about that. But you can enable to start individual Apps with saved window size/position (btw. for different display setups) and they will resize after the Menu bar is hidden - so no space left :-)
I really would like to use this product but unfortunately the issue with hiding X-Plane menus and not being settable in X11 precludes this possibility in the latest release as of Aug 10,2011. What is needed is an exclusion list so the user can list programs in which the product is disabled,
Amazing. Easy. Does what it's supposed to… well, almost. When using MAD with Finder, the original dock settings (in my case always show dock) are not restored. I had to manually activate (or rather deactivate) it in the Dock PrefPane.
Another bug: When using MAD with Safari, everything works fine until I control-click on a link to open a URL in a background tab. All of a sudden the menu and the dock appear again, but the Safari window is only partially adjusted to the newly reduced space, i.e. to the menu, but not to the dock.
Very cool little plugin, I appreciate you making it free and will find many uses for it. My only gripe is the hotkey (control + enter.) I use control + enter already as a hotkey for an application launcher so is it at all possible in future releases to maybe see customizable hotkey?
I realize it's just a plugin and has no windows really but maybe there is hack we can do here as an end user or would you have to compile a new plugin with a different key combo in the code?
Anyhow, thanks for the plugin, so far it's worked well on all my apps. Much appreciated.

On smaller screens (on an 11" MacBook Air for example) this often makes much sense because you gain a lot of more free 'space' and it reduces possible distractions and you don't have to manually position windows all over again - one keystroke or click and the window will be adjusted and positioned to the frame you always want it to have…
And because under Snow Leopard the Finder is also written in Cocoa MenuAndDockless even works for the Finder (just needs to be restarted once).
MenuAndDockless is free and works on every Mac running Lion and above in 64 bit mode and is not rally a hack like other tools - it's just an addition and will not cause any trouble…

The Full Screen transition could be faster and hopefully you'll keep on improving the wonderful utility:)
