screen when you point to the screen edge where the Dock and menu bar are positioned.
You can also hide the Dock and menu bar by pointing away from
them. You can change the setting if you do not want the Dock and menu bar to appear
when you point to the screen edge.

the Choose the size of your remote desktop pop-up menu, click Full screen.
- Do one of the following:
- To prevent the Dock and menu bar from appearing when you point to the screen
edge, select the Don't show the Macintosh Dock and menu bar check box.
- To allow the Dock and menu bar to appear when you point to the screen edge,
clear the Don't show the Macintosh Dock and menu bar check box.
