Hi Todd,

Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn't = aware that the Window is not maximized.

So will the BoxPane route = I mentioned have the same effect?

Hi = Bob,

Try maximizing the window, like so:

<Window = title=3D"Hello Pivot"
maximized=3D"true"
= ....

Right now, since the window isn't maximized, it's getting = set to its preferred size, which is just as big as it needs to be to = accomodate the menu bar. When you maximize it, it will occupy the = entire space of the native frame.

Here's the WTKX file for your reference: http://pastebin.com/f3159ebaf

I tried to = include the code here but the first time I sent this, it exceeded 5.0 = spam score so it was not accepted.
By the way I also tried using a parent BoxPane with vertical orientation = and fill:true and then BoxPane with horizontal orientations and = fill:true where I put the Menu Bar.

Thanks and Regards,
