How can I hide the status bar in Eclipse? I mean the one at the bottom, where also the "Progress" status is shown. It is very distracting because it is doing something all the time.
I took a look at this question, but the answer given there and on Superuser does not show how to hide it. I also did not find anything in the preferences. I am using Eclipse 3.7.2.
How can I hide the status bar, or at least, get rid of the "Progress" bar at the bottom?
With CSS in Eclipse Juno there are endless possibilities to style Eclipse the way you like: edit the eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.2.v201302041200/css/e4_default_mac.css (adapt it to your Eclipse version and operating system).
There, add the following lines:
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-status,
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical1,
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical2 {
visibility: hidden;
}
Now, not only the status bar but also the bars on the left and right are hidden. Before doing that, you might open the views you like to have and bring them to your preferred positions and assign a shortcut to them so that they will pop up whenever (and only when) you need them. Of course, you can undo that change any time.
Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)
Approach 1
Go to Quick Access (or press Ctrl + 3)
Type "status bar"
Choose Toggle Statusbar - Toggle the visibility of the bottom status bar
Approach 2
Window > Appearance > Hide Status Bar
This feature is described here.
With the new release of Eclipse, you can use the menu to hide the status bar.

Just downloaded VSCode, ver 1.28 and the activity bar (left side) and the left side of the side bar are not there. This happened yesterday too, so uninstalled the program and tried again today.
I have no way to get to settings, debug, search, etc. Tried right clicking on black space and they don't show up, merely options to open a new file. If I do open (untitled) I still do not get that left part of the screen. I am comparing it to MS's user interface page (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface). Is it possible that I would have to change the resolution on my laptop?
Thanks.
From the menu bar at the top try
View/Apperance/Show Activity Bar
When the Activity Bar is visible, this option will show "Hide Activity Bar"
See screenshot
1.Simple go to the setting
2.Under the user settings search for Activity Bar.
3.You'd find it under the workbench.
4. Click the Activity bar visible and that's green and working.
Another way to loose Activity Bar is to accidently active Zen Mode. Check if
View/Apperance/Zen Mode
is checked and if so uncheck it.
You can also pull up the command pallet with
Ctrl + Shift + P
Then type/select
View: Toggle Activity Bar Visibility
Earlier this week I installed the latest release (May 2018) of Visual Studio Code and ever since then all the icons in the Activity Bar (i.e. the long thin bar on the far left of the window) fail to display. I always get the Explorer icon but after that the only one that does display is whatever I currently have open in the sidebar.
Perhaps some screenshots might help explain:
I've searched high and low in Settings to try and find how to get them all to display but I can't find anything. Can anyone help?
I'm on macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 by the way.
Right click on the activity bar itself and select whatever you want have on the activity side bar. if for some reason you don't see the activity bar, go to
View-> Appearance ->Show Activity bar
"Try right clicking the Activity Bar itself. If I right click it I get a list of the icons to show/hide."
In VSCode version 1.59 (Windows 10), the setting of controlling the visibility of activity bar is:
Settings -> User >-> Workbench -> Appearance -> Activity Bar -> "Visible
Controls the visibility of the activity bar in the workbench"
See the screenshot below:
Click on menu, if you don't have the top menu click the alt key the menu will appear. On the menu click view then click appearance, then click show activity bar. If all the activity bar does not show, go back to view menu to bring them back one by one. To keep an icon from disappearing right click on each activity bar, look for keep, click it. That will make it stay.
If you are a windows user and have the latest version of visual studio code
1)First go to the view section in the upper top of the visual studio code.
2)GO to preferences
3)Go to show Activity Bar and click on it.
This is the only fix that worked for me on Mac:
Click "View" > "Open view...". Search for the extension. From there you can open the extension in a side panel.
I don't know if this is the right place for it. Using Eclipse 4.6.2 on OSX, in the Java view, I used to have a bar on the bottom with Problems, Tasks, Console, Properties, etc. tab options. This bar is now small icons on the right. It appears on the bottom when I click on the right bar, but it disappears as soon as I click on any editing tab outside of it. Clicking and dragging the bar to the bottom doesn't have any effect. It has a restore-window style icon that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also finding that when I select a .java file, like in Problems or Call Hierarchy, it shows up on the bottom, when it used to pop up above the bottom section.
I've always gotten really confused whenever I've tried to mess with the default views/perspectives in Eclipse. I probably made this happen by mistake. I want to revert to the original behavior, but I'm not sure how. Any advice?
On the top there should be a "window" menu bar. If you look in the window bar you should get a "reset perspective" option.
Haven't found an option in the IDE to hide it, are there any configuration files that would do it? I never use it, and in my effort to optimize screen space with multiple tab groups, this would save me some pixels. :-P
Here's the bar in question:

I believe you are referring to the Diff Sidebar. To remove this use the menu item located at View > Show Diff Sidebar. This menu item is a toggled menu item so when it is active there is a check beside it.
I'm trying to hide Eclipse menu bar to save some screen real estate. I found I can do this using perspectives but that would permanently take out the menu from that perspective. The behavior that I want to get is something along of auto-hide, so that the menu remains hidden until I hit ALT+F for example or any other ALT key combo.
Is there's a setting or a plugin that can do this?
Thanks!
This is just a work around. Create two perspectives.
First one named - With Menu.
Second one named - Without Menu.
In the "Without Menu" perspective remove all menu items and Save.
To create the effect of hiding and showing, switch between perspectives by using
Ctrl+F8.
Theres a fast view option- just right click the tab and select Fast View. It'll bring the entire window down to the eclipse taskbar. You can recover the window by just clicking on it's icon.

Have a look here Is there a Macro Recorder for Eclipse? You could set up the macro so respond to ALT+F possibly.
