The toolbar can be hidden by removing the check from Capture in the Toolbars option of the View menu. The toolbar default view is not hidden (checked).

The Capture Toolbar can be positioned to another location by moving the mouse cursor to the left of the menu until a double-headed arrow appears. Click, hold, and drag the menu to another position in the window header.
