Bennett, try whether "ui-toggle fullscreen" hide the global menu by

It does work, and the menubar nicely appears automatically when the
mouse goes to the top of the screen. Nice work!
I that intentional Pavel? If yes, I am impressed :-)
There are a couple glitches I discovered in a few minutes of testing.
First, ui-toggle fullscreen does not work unless a document is open. (Is
that intentional?)
Second, Document > Outline does not work after fullscreen mode has been
invoked, even after returning to normal windowed mode. (The menu item
successfully toggles as indicated by the checkmark, but no outline
appears.) I suspect this has something to do with the fact that the the
outline on Mac is a drawer rather than a docked widget. In other
programs that allow fullscreen mode, drawers open from the side of the
screen inwards in full screen mode, rather than the edge of the window
outwards (as in windowed mode).
The solution is to disable the drawer option passed to our DockView
based classes when switching to fullscreen mode. I am sure Stefan could
implement and test that, couldn't you Stefan? ;-)
A final question/request (which may go beyond what you want to do, so
feel free to ignore it): especially with widescreen monitors (standard
on Macs), fullscreen mode as currently implemented results in unreadably
long lines. Would it be possible to define line length (or % of screen
width) to use? -- The idea, as some users have requested, would be to
have "distraction free writing" -- something like WriteRoom.
I think an adjustment of the zoom and/or dpi settings while in
fullscreen should do the trick.
