He may. And I showed several ways to do it. I can't see an advantage in having a new fullscreen state that is an exact duplication of the maximize state (i.e. borders, shadability etc.). If we introduce the new state, it should behave to better achieve its specific task: > > The whole fullscreen state is to help users (hopefully it is a user who > > requests fullscreen, not a malicious program) to keep a window visible. Anyway, it is not important to me whether a user may shade a fullscreen window. Personally I would like a window to be un-fullscreened on shade.
