Q: Hiding the menu bar on auto start with Mac Mini's.

I have a bunch of mac mini's. I need to use them for digital signage. So if power goes out or if something crashes then they reboot back into Keynote and run the loop. with mavericks the menu bar now shows up at the front of keynote until a mouse button is clicked. Once these are set up they might be unaccessable so the mouse button is not an option. This is new to Mavericks.

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    Are you running the current version of Keynote (Version 6.2, released April 1, 2014)?

     

    I don't know the exact solution to your problem, but I do know that Keynote Version 6.2 changed presentation option features.  My guess is this is relevant to your finding a solution.

    The problem isn't the presentation mode evrything works fine if you start keynote manually. It seems to me that when it starts up automatically that it's in the background until you select it with a mouse. If this can't happen I'll have to scrap these units.
