Full screen mode and distraction-free mode

Two different modes are available for writing while blending out interfering secondary elements.



Starting and stopping the full screen mode

The full screen mode is a macOS own window behavior. When enabled, it hides the menu bar, title bar, and dock. The actual program window is enlarged to the full screen size and also gets its own desktop assigned. The full screen mode can be activated as follows:


In order to leave the full screen mode using the first both methods, the mouse pointer has to be led to the top of the screen, so that the menu bar is displayed again. Then the menu option or the green button can be used to quit the full screen mode. Alternative ending is also possible by repeatedly pressing the above named keyboard shortcut.

Start and end distraction-free mode

In distraction-free mode, the entire background and parts of the main window of Note-C are hidden, so that only the text field is visible, and you can completely focus on the text. The distraction-free mode can be started either via the main menu under the item "Display > Distraction-free mode" or the keyboard shortcut CMD+Shift+F. The distraction-free mode is ended with the keyboard shortcut CMD+Shift+F.

Appearance of Full screen and Distraction-Free modes

In the preferences under the item "Full screen", the appearance of the distraction-free as well as the full screen mode can be adapted to your own wishes. In addition to the background color, the width and height of the text field can also be changed. Instead of a simple background color, a background image can be defined which is to be displayed behind the text field in the full screen mode.
