I would like to summarize my point on this. I can see 2 ways to resolve it :

1- a) Hide/Unhide the menu bar with a keyboard shortcut (Alt?)
   b) Add "Hide/Unhide menu bar" button on the skin

2- a) Remove the menu bar and the controls available on the skin
   b) Add "Hide/Unhide menu controls" button on the skin

For me, the option 1-a) is enough for my use case :
During performances, I can hide the menu bar and save space on the screen. If needed I can recall easily the menu bar with a simple shortcut (Alt).

The option 1-b) allow people who accidentally hide the menu bar to recover it simply via the skin without knowing the shortcut. It's "low cost" in skin dev, and doesn't charge the interface with non useful informations.

The option 2 isn't relevant for me : I don't want to see options on the skin I don't need, that's why I suggest to add them on a panel we can open and close with a button (option 2-b)).

What do you think ? Should we divide this into 2 bugs ?
