Is there any ways to disable/hide the progress bar?

[Xyde]

I'm trying to ace AAA on the easy songs but after multitude of hours I failed and failed and over again...my eyes are sore and I want to try to keep away every interceptions there is. And somehow I just can't divert my eyes from the progress bar(the one on the top) and I think that it's driving me crazy. (I disabled every features except that one 'cause idk how to)

Is there a way to hide it? I'm playing the R^3 engine directly by *.swf and I just can't scroll down. Thank you.

i dont think there's a way to hide it

what you can do though is move your flashplayer up & beyond the edges of your screen so that the progress bar is blocked out

I remember having that problem ahaha, I used to tape notecards to the top border of my monitor

use task manager to block view of it

Unfortunately that didn't work since the flash player was full-screened already(not yet F11 though) and I couldn't drag the task manager beyond the upper screen...

But fortunately, I tried something similar by hovering the cursor over the bookmark tab on one of the bookmarks and it kind of...worked, I could say? The link itself did hid 80% of the bar after all. Though I hope that such a feature could be added in the future... ...(enabling/disabling progress bar)

Thanks for the input, guys~!

By the way, a bit on the offside but since I'm not enough informative I'll just ask then... As a new player(for FFR and rhythm games), is it better to start acing AAA for the easy songs or just try FC the most songs as possible...or get a positive note for the harder songs? For example I would play around a median of 4 hours per day... how many days/weeks do you think it'll take me to reach the "standard" level? I noticed that AAA is mostly concentration based and boy it just hurts to get a blackflag near the end of the song :/

For me personally, I started off playing files that I could AAA or come close to AAAing in the area of 10-20 goods. I then started moving up in difficulty in order to practice patterns I wasn't particularly good at and aimed for FCs. I spent awhile just drilling into those tricky patterns until I was able to FC then somewhat accurately. I don't play too much seriously now, but speed is something I lack. In order to try to get better, I play easier files on a higher rate until I can barely FC them and go to the next rate and do as well as I can.

Different people practice differenty, so there's no easy solution. Like anything, just keep practicing and you'll get better.
