The best way to present visual content is to use the entire screen for it. Imagine you would like to look at a single item, wouldn't the best way to look at it be to blank out every other information on the screen in favour of visual focus onto this one item?
Fullscreen does exactly that. Gnome Terminal knows Fullscreen mode (F11), Open Office Writer knows F11, Gedit knows F11, Epiphany has rudimentary support, Firefox, , what have you.. Examples for apps that do not comply with this unspoken rule are: Nautilus Evolution Transmission Contact List Fortunately, Compiz has "window rules" which can allow for toggling of fullscreen mode for any app. Unfortunately, this feature is buggy, as gnome-panel will sometimes cover a fullscreen app, instead of disappearing behind it or autohiding. UNR used Maximus by default already in order to utilize the display screen real estate better.. how would you like a consistent DE with F11 to send any window that is not a yes/no dialog into fullscreen?
