In the X5 suite, is there any way to get maximum screen real estate while editing photos in PHOTO-PAINT? I'd like to get rid of the Windows task bar and any unnecessary menu bars in PHOTO-PAINT, so I can score more screen. Just imagine pressing F9 and then being able to edit. Since I can't afford a 48" 4K monitor, I really need help!!!
Funny thing is that I remember doing this by accident with previous versions, then looking up how to get the menus back online!
Thanks for any help!
Backspace and Ctrl+Shift+F4 should give you what you want.Both can be found on the menu bar under Window (Maximize Work Area - Backspace and Hide Windows - Ctrl+Shift+F4)
It works in X6 (but is broken in X7) and if I remember correctly it should work in X5.
Thank you!

Its usually a good idea to also set the windows task bar to auto-hide which works with most programs. The task bar only pops up when you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, so all programs even those that don't have a full screen mode can always be that bit larger.
Ok. I've done both of those, but I'm still not happy.
The software needs a full-screen edit mode, and I mean edge-to-edge with no borders. That, with options providing floating Status Bar, Standard, Property Bar, Toolbox, and even a Menu Bar, when needed.
Or we all just need to go out and buy 48" monitors.
