Yes you have. Every OS has chrome that cannot be disabled in full-screen. You may not regularly experience that, but it does. Imagine you're playing a video game and Windows Update throws an error. That will be displayed over your full-screen game window. It doesn't even have to be originated by the OS. As long as the OS is provided with an extended display, it has the ability to put things on top of whatever your app displays. It may not happen often but it does happen. That's the primary reason why dedicate I/O hardware exists.
- _ph_ 5y agoAs I wrote in the answer to your other comment, I have never claimed, that there aren't events that can cause the OS to supersede a fullscreen app. But by default, the OS does not display additional information on top of a full screen app. And perhaps we should discuss the same thing only in one thread.
