"C-h f w32-send-sys-command" will tell you this: [...] Is this what you are looking for? Well, that does maximize the frame, but it does not remove the title bar, as happens in Linux. Looking into this I am finding that it looks like this is somewhat non-trivial. There is something that is designed to do that in Windows called emacs-darkroom-mode[1], but it has about a million dependencies[2]. In general, though, it would be lovely to be able to make a really distraction-free environment out of Emacs. The other thing I would love is a feature such that the minibuffer/modeline would vanish when not being used for messages or output, leaving that space for text -- something like the auto-hide feature that the task-bar has in some window managers. And, as long as I'm fantasising, I'd like the Swedish bikini team to parachute in with a six-pack of beer.... Footnotes: [1] http://www.martyn.se/code/emacs/darkroom-mode/ [2] Slight exaggeration.
