Missing Top Menu Bar in Frontend

Post by jonwestfall »

Hello everyone,

I'm a longtime user of VirtualBox, but haven't posted before. Up until now I've found all the answers I've needed on the forum (Thank you to all the vets), but for some reason this one is eluding me. I'm hoping it's just something I'm not seeing, and if so, I apologize for not noticing the obvious answer.

The top menu bar in the VirtualBox Frontend is missing on my Mac, and I'm not sure how it got switched off or how to restore it.

Without the bar, I can't manage snapshots, which is becoming a problem. I'm running the most recent version of VirtualBox (Checked for updates this morning and installed them) on OS X Lion. Any hotkey toggle for the bar? Any suggestions on how to get it back?

Thanks,
Jon.

Try right clicking on the bottom of the window and enable both by putting check marks in

That did it, can't believe I didn't find that on my own. Thanks for the heads-up!
