'Full screen' mode: hide header and side menu

[wallaby9]

I would like to see a kind of 'Full-Screen' feature which hides the side menu and the top header bar, and expands everything else.

It could remember its state, or appear in the same default state every time a page loads.

The real-estate lost to these two areas by my calculation (on this screen here) is just over 20%, and it's frustrating not to be able to make use of it.

Hi,
maybe a (partial) workaround is: set $menu_type = 'drop_down_menu'; in config_custom.php

I believe at the moment you can choose to show your menu all the time or have it be a dropdown type menu.

You can change that by the following Custom config.

// choose the type of menu you want to use for page selection: 'left_side_menu' or 'drop_down_menu'
$menu_type = 'left_side_menu';

But a good solution in the future for this could be a collapsible side menu, link below shows possible functionality.

I suppose this could be done for the top menu bar as well, but gives the persistance of the menu when desired, but can collapse when not.
