Normal/full screen modes

In normal screen mode part of the window is occupied by the title bar, menu bar, and scroll bars. This can be inconvenient if you want the maximum possible editing area. Xara Designer has a second screen mode, fullscreen, which displays a more streamlined screen. You can configure each screen mode as you wish. For example, each can have its own configuration of the control bars. The configuration is remembered and applies whenever you swap between screen modes.

Normal/full screen is controlled by "Window" > "Full Screen" or right click and choose Full Screen ("8" on the numeric keypad toggles between the two displays).

To display the menu bar in full screen mode, move the pointer to the top of the screen.
