 +===== How To: Make A Window Full Screen (Hide The System UI -or- Stretch The Contents) ===== 
 +For setup designs using windows, the user may want the window to open **full** screen in order to be the focused objected.  
 +<WRAP toby round> 
 +Toby says {{:ui:ui-icon_megaphone.webp?30}} the full screen result may require 3 adjustments: 
 +  - The **System UI**: Android usually reserces a slim portion at the top of the screen for the status bar. Some users may hide the status bar (''Launcher Options'' > ''UI & Animations'' > ''Hide status bar'') and while the bar is hidden, its space remains. See below on how to **Overlap system UI** 
 +  - **Window Option Edit** allows the setting of **Full height** 
 +  - **Widow Resizing** can be done manually by dragging the boundary or with the {{:ui:ui-icon_edit.webp?direct&25}} icon to enter exact height and width as well as x/y coordinates. 
 +    - Remember to check the contents of the window as well. If the window contains a shape or widget that does not extend to its boundaries or if the widget has **margins** which prevent it from resting on the window's edge, adjust these.
