In the new fullscreen mode - access to the menu bar.

I was so pleased to finally get fullscreen integration... until my hopes were dashed.

In other fullscreen-enabled apps on the Mac (like pages/keynote/numbers) when in fullscreen if you want access to the top menu bar all you have to do is mouse up to the top of the screen and it appears.

But in Photoshop you can't get to the menu bars at all from full screen (in so far as I can tell). 

This makes it quite useless for day-to-day work - I use my menus all the time, and I don't want to have to keep switching in and out of fullscreen mode.

No idea why this wasn't obvious, but there you have it.

 

So feature request: access to the menus from fullscreen.

 

Thanks!

The screenshot that i posted is from macOS Ventura 13.6.6

 

In macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, Apple moved the Menu Bar settings to the Control Center.

Forgot all about this and hadn't tried PS in fullscreen mode again. Today I try it and fullscreen has the menus at the top.
So complaint withdrawn. 

That said, I don't have a Menu Bar section like that. Weird.

Sonoma 14.4.1

What version of macOS are you using?

 

What are your settings under Apple>System Settings>Desktop & Dock>Menu Bar?

 

 

 

For macOS Sonoma it's under Apple>System Settings>Control Center>Menu Bar Only
