Is there a way to make the Menu bar show at all times in fullscreen windows?
I've been annoyed by this, too, and the simple, yet very, very painful answer is to hold alt&ensp;⌥option and press the green title bar button (which should turn into a + when you hold option/alt)



If this doesn't make it cover the screen, you can finish the job by holding alt&ensp;⌥option and double-clicking a corner to resize the window to fill the screen.

If you make your dock hide by default, this essentially gives you a "fullscreen" program with the menu bar always shown.
