One of the new features added in VirtualBox 3.0.0 is:"GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to Huihong Luo) "
But I dislike the mini toolbar, how to disable it? I think this feature should be control by the end users themselves! who can help me ?

There is a proper VM setting.

Is there a way to move it? I like it, but it is on the bottom, so every time I go down to my task bar it pops up and I can't click or see the item I am trying to get to.

I'd also like the ability to disable it but even more, to move it to the top not the bottom ... I tend to mouse to window tabs at the bottom of the screen more often than things in the top panel.

I've seen someone (on a blog) say that there is a vbox UI option to control it ... but I cannot see it anywhere.

Open the VM settings and go to the Advanced tab, then you see it in plain text. Moving it might be possible in a future release. I opt for that option, bottom isn't the best place. Neither can be the top, due to Linux panels and some people have the Windows taskbar at the top.

OK I found the instructions in another thread :oops:

Thanks

Is there a bugzilla/feature request place that developers read? I haven't seen one mentioned at www.virtualbox.org

Checked the VirtualBox FAQ too? It has the link to the Bugtracker. Please search for existing bugs first before opening a new one. You do need a separate account.
