Some of our activities have a separate fullscreen mode. Take a look at the two screenshots of record: Fullscreen: http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/sugar_metacity/Captura%20de%20pantalla_1.png Normal: http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/sugar_metacity/Captura%20de%20pantalla_1_2.png Marco suggest that this can be worked around in sugar though. However, though we do not always show frames (or panels), there are some environments which show at least a single panel all the time (eg: Ubuntu Netbook Remix). In those cases, fullscreen might mean that frame may have to be covered as well. Who knows, maybe in the future sugar may also decide to show a single frame permanently on the screen.
