Heaven forfend the thought of over-riding your UI selections PERMANENTLY, but as it seems perfectly reasonable, under certain circumstances, to make
the Windows Taskbar or the Mac Menubar "take a holiday", it might be
equally reasonable to clear away an end-user's screen clutter so that s/he
can see the UI of the stack/standalone they are using.

I make the EFL stuff for my school to a standardised 1024 x 768
screen size, and that's just fine for the Linux boxes; everything
(meaning the GNOME panel) gets hidden. However, the Mac
version resizes daftly unless there is a 'hide menuBar' in
the preOpen Card script.

I don't know about Klaus's Dock, which he claims tucks away
with hide menuBar; the faithful, old, G3 iMac (running Tiger)
has to have the Dock set to Hide for that to happen.

Personally, while I like the Dock on the Macs, and use both
Avant Window Navigator and Cairo Dock on my Ubuntu
test machine, they do tend to get on my nerves when they
float around over whatever I am trying to do.

I am trying to understand what is the difference between "hiding screen furniture" and using "full screen mode" especially when you appear to be filling the screen on your Linux boxes. I'm sure there must be a difference as somebody would have advised you to "set the fullscreen of the stack to true" but I'm lost.

Some 'screen furniture' will float over everything else in the GUI regardless.
I look forward to finding out.
