Questions this answers
- Does Chau7 support macOS full screen?
- Can I keep the toolbar visible in full screen?
- Is full screen a custom display mode?
How it works
Chau7's windows participate in the standard macOS full-screen transition. The app handles window lifecycle and terminal layout during entry and exit.
Windows settings include an Always Show Toolbar in Fullscreen option. When enabled, the toolbar remains visible in the app's full-screen window.
This is macOS full-screen behavior with a toolbar preference, not a separate custom resolution or multi-display mode.
Why it matters
Full-screen mode gives a terminal session more room on a display, while the toolbar preference controls whether app controls remain visible.
