Terminal/Osascript: Automatically hide and show menu bar
0
Is there a way to enable "Automatically hide and show menu bar" checkbox via applscript/osascript or just terminal?
Current OS: macOS Mojave 10.14
I read things like LSUIPresentationMode and tried different things with osascript already
shell terminal applescript osascript

This AppleScript code should work for you
if application "System Preferences" is running then quit application "System Preferences"
repeat until application "System Preferences" is not running
delay 0.1
end repeat
tell application "System Preferences" to reveal pane id "com.apple.preference.general"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to tell window "General"
repeat while not (exists of checkbox "Automatically hide and show the menu bar")
delay 0.1
end repeat
click checkbox "Automatically hide and show the menu bar"
end tell
quit application "System Preferences"
As per the request from a comment to my answer for the original post, this following code is a conversion from AppleScript to shell script… and can be run in the Terminal.app and should produce the same results

I let it run for like 5minutes, sadly nothing happened besides opening the system preferences and general tab. Edit: I got it working, by changing the System Language to "Enlgish" (had German)... Although when i convert the Checkbox Title to the German one, it doesnt check it. I guess the primary language has to be english? Is it a bug?

@pr0cat I have this little utility app called AS2Shell.app which converts AppleScript to a shell script which can be run in the Terminal. I will add that conversion for you to my answer to your post
