</div></div> Ditch the default desktop environment. Run one of the more minimalist<br>

Also shove pulse audio down a deep dark hole.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The depths to which you learned mythizens can discuss an issue never ceases to amaze me. However I still have the that annoying black stripe at the top of the display. In my man cave I have a PC running Ubuntu 12.04/64 bit with a 42" plasma monitor/TV. I lopen mythtv from the launcher when I'm not doing other computing. I can display mythtv recordings on vlc without the black stripe, but its awkward to find a particular recording among the many in the file, and I forfeit the commercial skip feature. I'm looking for a simple way to make the stripe go away when I watch recordings, like the way the launcher hides when not being used. Does Legacy full screen support not cooperate with a 64 bit OS? CompizConfig sounded like the kind of fix I was looking for. Is there any idea why that didn't work? Or any other similarly simple solution out there?</div>
