Xtreme $niper Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is the Apple Support forums, so I believe he's referring to OS X, not Windows... I'm guessing you're talking about the Menu Bar? EDIT: Woop, yeah I left this window open for a while before replying... lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/991360-menu-bar-is-stuck-black/#findComment-593911216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Welcome to the Apple support forum :p I?m returning this comment directly to you. What is a "Taskbar" for you in Mac OS X? The Dock, or the Menu Bar ? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/991360-menu-bar-is-stuck-black/#findComment-593911220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerax Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just say it's metroUI? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/991360-menu-bar-is-stuck-black/#findComment-593911252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Uncheck "Enable access for assistive devices" at the bottom of the window. Maybe that will fix things for you. Afterwards you can check the checkbox again and hopefully things will stay normal.

CPressland Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If you create another User, does the Menu bar display normally? If not, it's done something system level. Have you tried reinstalling Nocturn and trying to reverse the affects?

I already tried putting nocturne back on to reverse the issue but that didnt work :/ Anyway, I'd say you should try to locate the files that would be affected (user level or system level) and see if you can copy in the originals from a backup or something...

Elliott Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Really weird. Nocturne should only work when it's running because it's basically just overlaying a box on the top 21 pixels of your screen that inverts everything inside of it. I'm sure you're positive it's not running, but just check Activity Monitor to make sure?

Xtreme $niper Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 You should change the filter for the search criteria (top left drop down) from "My Processes" to "All Processes".
