Ask HN: Why can't you hide all window decorations in macOS to minimize clutter?

    You wouldn't need full screen mode if you could hide all window decorations.

      That’s what full-screen mode does. A window with no controls seems kind of useless in a stacked window manager. MacOS doesn’t support this because it would introduce UI complexity and ambiguity without adding any functionality.

        Adding a separate full screen mode with split view also adds complexity and is more limited than full window management.

          Well I guess you don’t use MacOS then. I didn’t design it, take it up with Apple.
