Option to remove new Header Bar (22.3) from window

I'm a shortcuts person, and I like customizability. Please make the new Header Bar feature of Version 22.3 optional. I have no use for any of the buttons or information on the header, all of which are redundant and can be accessed either through the toolbar or via keyboard shortcuts. I appreciate that the Header may be convenient for new Premiere users, but for power users it is wasted screen real estate.

So is there still no way to get rid of the header bar in the latest 2023 version? (v23.3.0)

It's using up an inch of space that version 2021 didn't.

Adobe's made it clear that they have no interest in user feedback. I voted for this, as I've voted for lots of other things since the bloated, less-functional UI change, but I think I'll probably just switch to Resolve at this point.

Three months into my swap to Resolve I find myself kicking myself for sticking with Premiere so long. It’s appalling that I paid so much for so long and walked away with nothing but the deep feeling that I was defrauded into paying monthly for a product that was getting worse and worse. Crashing more frequently and moving away from my professional needs towards a childish one product fits all from major movies to one time content creator. Resolve cost me 6 months subscription to CC and now it’s mine forever free support and upgrades forever. Additionally. IT NEVER CRASHES. 5 days on a 4K timeline with grades and effects. No problem. I thought 4 major crashes a day was normal. Save yourselves. Jump!

Dear Adobe Premiere Team, listen up please. Your job is not to design what you want to design. Nor is it to make PP seem fun and easy for newbies. It is to evolve an incredible tool incrementally in the direction its professional user base needs to work faster, more efficiently, and more accurately with the top cameras, codecs and post workflows in the industry, executed with more common sense, and inter-share-ability. Stay on goal please. Ditch the Header Bar, or make it OPTIONAL. How dare you take away screen real estate to display useless headers for what is commonly already accomplished elsewhere. You are off track officially now, and no longer represent the product or its professional user base. I think I speak for many here...I've spent years, decades honing my craft and at the moment, although fading fast, Premiere is the tool I need. It is my preferred goto every time, and without hesitation since 2013 I have used it over Avid or Final Cut for every film and TV project. But lately your glitchy updates and recent habit of undoing or ruining the established layout and features of this great software is not just disappointing...but seriously interfering with my work. Once upon a time not too long ago using Premiere was a joy. Lately (last 6 months) the "improvements" and interface alterations you keep making are nothing but a step back. You are about to lose users wholesale to Resolve. And I will be among them.

This is not a fix but for those who might not know, you can press control-alt-\ and the Window title bar for Premiere will disappear. This at least give you a little bit of you real estate back even if you can't turn off the new header bar.

I just upgraded, after spending an hour trying to figure out how to remove it, only to discover it's not something I can do. Screen real estate is far more valuable than this. I have a keyboard shortcut assigned to all these buttons. It is completely useless to me.

The header bar - in either form - should be completely optional. I can already import media via the project window or media browser, I export exclusively using the Ctrl+M shortcut, and I switch workspaces precisely zero times over the course of a project. The only thing the header bar or the old workspaces toolbar does for me is take up valuable screen real estate.

The Workspaces is crucial for easy development and a quick response. Remember that we usually switch between Effects, Colors, Graphics, etc. many, many, many times during the edition, these are the main tasks we do when editing and we spend hours doing it. and when we importing or exporting is just few times during the dev of a project, please add a toggle shortcut between old header bar where the workspaces are at a glance and one-click away and the new header. it would be really nice!. get rid of the new header bar stuck at the top wasting valuable real state on the screen, if you make a poll between the old one and the new one you'd be surprised...

DR AKERECO A POWERFUL LOVE SPELL CASTER WHO DID A WONDERFUL WORK FOR ME His WhatsApp: +2348148822140

I never believed in love spells or magic until I met this spell caster on the internet. I meant a man whose name is Dr. Akereco. He is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell. I'm now happy & a living testimony. The man I wanted to get married to left me a week before our wedding and my life was upside down because our relationship has been going on for 3years. I really loved him. So when I met this spell caster, I told him what happened and explained the situation to him. At first, I was undecided, skeptical, and doubtful, but I just gave it a try. And in 3 days, my boyfriend called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our first child, and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better.
