Is it possible to hide the "File Edit Window Help" toolbar in max msp standalone?

R_GOL,
You need to edit the "maxinterface.json" within the standalone.
Make a backup first!
Located here - Mystandalone.app/Contents/Resources/C74/interfaces/maxinterface.json
Good luck.

I opened that file in Virtual Studio Code. How can I edit? What should I change?

maxinterface.json file is a bit different depending on max versions,
and has specific sections for mac and win full and runtime versions.
you need json editor to see json tree and remove items.
otherwise you might ruin the syntax.

have a look at totally stripped max 8.5.4 file

in pre 8.5 versions, color and default styles were part of it,
and had to be left in, otherwise objects like umenu and similar would have no
selection color, for example.
------------
On Mac, you can even remove the file completely, depending on what you use in standalone
and which max version, which would also get rid of max console,
quit message and shortcut will remain.
on windows, it can cause problems ... I don't have time to go into details.

It seems like that.
I grayed out this part using VS Code:

Indeed it make the toolbar to dissapear:

but I could not use the mouse anymore (clicks won't worked)

Version 8.5.4

this one will work for 854 as well, mac and win.
use it only in standalone, but remove 855 from the name,
otherwise it won't load.
