I messed with this for a very long time. I don't know why. I don't actually care. I guess I thought it should be easy and got caught up in it after a while. This works for the toolbar provided there is only 1 window in the frame. (progn (tool-bar-mode 0) (sit-for 0) (let ((fph (frame-pixel-height)) (wh (window-height))) (tool-bar-mode 1) (sit-for 0) (+ (* (- wh (window-height)) (frame-char-height)) (- (frame-pixel-height) fph)))) But there seems to be a bug (cvs) that prevents similar code from working for the menu bar. Apparently (frame-char-height) doesn't count the menu bar and for that matter neither does (frame-height). I'll try to write it up in the morning. If you're working on a non MS Windows system the bug may not apply and the above may work for toggling menu-bar-mode too. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
