It would be really nice if we had the option to permanently hide the Jump Desktop toolbar when connecting to a remote machine on an iPad.  I'm referring to the circled element below.

Right now, we have the option to either have the Jump Desktop toolbar maximized or minimized (into the ellipsis button) when we first connect to a remote machine.  However, even in its minimized state, the ellipsis menu still overlaps with native elements from the host machine.  Having it on the screen can be distracting and is the only major graphical element that makes working on a remote machine from an iPad feel different than working natively on a laptop.

I'm thinking something like this...

1. add a setting to Jump Desktop allowing you to permanently hide/remove the ellipsis element (defaults to showing)

2. Add a keyboard/touch screen shortcut to display the Jump Desktop toolbar for users that have chosen to hide the ellipsis element in 1.

If this feature already exists and I'm just missing it, please point me in the right direction.

And thanks for all your work.  Jump Desktop is a really awesome app!

  Bonus points if you can suppress the iPad home bar at the bottom of the page too.  I believe that individual apps can do that. :)

  Seconding both of these suggestions. I love using Jump but the ellipsis gets in the way frequently, especially when remoting into a Windows box. If I could move it to the bottom even that would be helpful - right now it sits right in the address bar.
