I'm using a triplehead2go with a MBP Retina. I'm planning to run an installation but when I close the cover of the MBP the menubar pops up on the other screens. I have @fsmenubar 0 @border 0 set on the jit.windows. I suppose I can keep the laptop cover open to avoid this problem but prefer not to if at all possible so I'm wondering if there is another solution.

but turn off the option in system preferences -> mission control -> monitors use different spaces.

also try to make the triplehead screens your main monitor, and close the cover before you start your patch.

I am only guessing...

Thanks but unfortunately didn't work. With the triplehead2go you can't use a fullscreen attribute so @fsmenubar 0 doesn't work. You have to set @pos and @size to make it look fullscreen.

if you go into display preferences, in the arrangement window, you should be able to click on the white menu-bar of your main display, and then drag it to the triplehead display, thereby setting the triplehead as the menubar window.

then when you send you jit.window fullscreen (after dragging the window to the triplehead display), with @fsmenubar 0, it should hide the menu bar, and possibly won't bring it back when you close the display.
