I find the title bar a bit annoying when using the mouse in Internet Explorer. Many website have their navigation at the top, after all.

    No; There is no way to disable the title bar at this time on Modern UI applications; You could in theory make Windows think you have a touch screen, if you do that, it won't be shown.

You could press the SHIFT key to hide the title bar once it appeared to lower this annoying.

You can use ModernMix's setting (under Advanced) "Hide Windows 8.1 Update 1 fullscreen app titlebar".

Side effects to installing ModernMix:

  • By default, ModernMix makes some other tweaks related to running Metro apps in Desktop windows, which you can change in General

  • App previews in the Win + Tab sidebar seem worse (totally black, etc.)

  • Switching apps through Win + Tab doesn't have animations

ModernMix has a (free) 30-day evaluation trial and costs $5 for unlimited use.

  • Welcome to SuperUser. ModernMix is commercial ($4.99), and this should be clearly stated in the answer.

You can use AutoHotKey and script:

;-Caption
LWIN & LButton::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, A
return
;

;+Caption
LWIN & RButton::
WinSet, Style, +0xC00000, A
return
;

    This script has nothing to do with the modern ui title bar and would not work.
