I've been spending more time browsing on my laptop lately, which inspired me to find better ways to use the available vertical screen space. I recalled accidentally pressing F11 a few times before finding it odd and amusing. However, I didn't rely on it because I had enough space (thanks to the 4:3 aspect ratio) and it removed toolbars when not needed, which was annoying. I looked for a method to hide toolbars and discovered it was easy—right-click the minimization icon in fullscreen and uncheck a box in the dropdown. The screenshots are complete and untrimmed views of my desktop, which I really liked. I've started browsing this way on my laptop exclusively. For the desktop, I now use the 'Undecorate' feature in LXDE that hides the title bar of open windows, so I don't have to stare at it when a window stays maximized. What do you think? Do you have any tips for saving screen space?

I don’t rely on full screen. I’m using one monitor and constantly multitasking on my PC, which isn’t practical for me.

I typically keep my browser open on one side.

Ensure your display is 1080p for optimal viewing; the interface appears neat and tidy.

I mostly rely on YouTube TV, Web.Air Droid, and a few websites to watch in full screen like TV. Only occasionally does it happen.

It seems the transition isn't as smooth as it could be, even though switching is possible.

I was used to working while the browser was running, which limited my ability to use full screen.

On my laptop, I was working in full screen mode by hiding the Start menu toolbar on the desktop. It doesn’t bother me.

Because of this discussion, I'm deciding to use full screen mode once more.

I didn’t purchase a 4K display for working with full-screen content ^^
