Do not tell me to use this shortcut CTRL + COMMAND + F to exit or enter in the fullscreen mode. I would like to always see the toolbar in the top of the page when I am in fullscreen mode, is it possible?
Step 1, Open Google Chrome. Its icon resembles a red, yellow, green, and blue sphere.Step 2, Make sure that you aren't using Chrome in full-screen mode. Full-screen mode can cause toolbars to disappear. This will vary depending on your computer type: Windows - Press F11 (or Fn+F11). Mac - Hover your mouse at the top of the screen, then click the green circle in the top-left corner of the screen when it appears.Step 3, Click ⋮. It's in the top-right corner of the Chrome window.
This Mac default style is completely annoying.
The toolbar at the top of the Mac OS X Snow Leopard screen gives you one-click access to many basic tasks. You can customize the icons that appear on Mac’s toolbar to facilitate your work style and preferences. Locate the MENU file you need. Just as before in the Applications folder, right-click and choose Show Package Contents. You’ll find the icons you’re looking for at MENUITEM.menu Contents Resources. Again, it’s a good idea to create a backup of the Mac OS X default menu bar icons. Instead of pressing the full screen button in the top right corner of the program, click the green full screen button in the upper left corner of the program. This will keep the menu bar from hiding itself. Click to expand. #15 That is false I am not at full screen and again the computer bosses take away our menus.

I don't think it can be done.
By default, the menu bar will float in if you hover the mouse at the top.
Alternatively, why not just use the window maximised, which will give a very similar look to what you want. [Green dot, top left of any window - though some apps will toggle full screen horizontally & vertically, others only vertically, you'd have to drag the corner for those]
Update for Yosemite, the green button behaviour is now reversed from Mavericks & before…
- Green dot will set to fullscreen, without the menu bar.
- Alt ⌥ /Green dot will maximise, leaving the menu bar visible.

The problem with the suggestions people are offering is that they are NOT full screen mode. When you resize a window it takes over the desktop rather than becoming a separate pane. I like to toggle between screens using a four finger swiping motion on the magic trackpad (the way you do on an Ipad), or alternately, press command ⌘+TAB. You know how. If the apps are not in TRUE full screen, then they appear as part of the desktop screen and you can't toggle between them. You have to minimize one to find the other one beneath it, then bring it back up using the dock. I've lost pages that way when I have more than one screen from the same program open (like two spreadsheets, pdfs, or Word documents). Even when you go to Mission Control only one screen appears, that of the desktop. I sympathize with Rinzler. I hate that you can't have full screen and still see the menu.
The only thing I can suggest to you (just figured this out now) is to try to replicate some of the stuff from your menu bar onto the dashboard and then have a hot key for the dashboard. I suggest the blank F5 key. This will be as close as you can get to bringing up the menu bar with a single press as I can imagine. And you can just as quickly make it go away.
My husband showed me how to make it always show up.
Open up your browser and float at the top to get the tool bar.
Click on View, and then 'Exit Full Screen.'
It will make your browser window half the size of what you will want.
Then use your mouse to put the arrow on the right side of the window and pull it to fill in the right side.
Do the same on the bottom. And any adjustments you want on the top.
Now, quit your browser.
When you re-open it, it should remember and be the exact size you want - with the tool bar in full view.
In Safari, enable View → Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen.
grg♦grgI just figured the solution! You need to adjust the screen in the maximize screen as everyone said but also, click hide on the bottom bar and hide it, that way you get a larger portion of the screen and keep the menu bar on top showing.
I like the menu bar because it keeps showing the time and battery. Not sure how you can live without seeing those two all the time...
Answering a question within 5 years of the question being asked was considered fast turnaround in ancient times. So...
The only way to do this is this:
1- Create a new desktop (slide three fingers up, click on the + on top right corner to create a new blank desktop)
2- Un-maximize (Microsoft language: restore) the window or app in question.
3- Drag the window all the way up until all the desktops show at the top.
4- Place the window/app in the desktop you just created.
5- Press Option and click on the green/maximize button of the on the top left corner of the window/app.
The window/app will maximize in that desktop with the menu showing on top as desired (only if the options is unchecked in System Preferences > General > Automatically hide and show the menu bar).

At the top of the screen is the menu bar and at the bottom is the Dock. In between is what’s called the desktop. The desktop is where you do most of your work.
You can change the look of your desktop by customizing the desktop picture and by choosing a light or dark appearance for the menu bar, desktop picture, Dock, and built-in apps.
When you open an app, its windows appear over the desktop. If your desktop is covered with windows, you can use Mission Control to see a simple view of everything that’s open so it’s easy to spot the window you need. You can also create and work in additional desktops called spaces.
If you like to keep files handy on the desktop, you can use stacks to neatly group them along one side of the desktop—whenever you add a file to the desktop, it automatically goes into a stack.
