I am aware of the the cream project. Unfortunately they are the gnu compilers. As I have a professional Visual C++ compiler, and Vim is such as great tool, I would like to compile it with the latest professional tool. I don't intent to stir flame war between gnu and microsoft compilers. Also, cream does not always update to the latest patch. There is a delay sometimes I could not wait.
The simalt ~x trick is not what you can get. It only maximize the app not make it a full screen. In the full screen, I mean, the title bar is hidden. The app is taking the whole screen space that is availabel. Yes, it will also hide the taskbar behind it because it is the full screen. You can experiment this with Firefox, Acrobat reader, etc. The main benefit of full screen to allow you concentrate. And of course to show off the vim editor. Thanks for the simalt ~x trick anyway.
