Hi, is there a way to make the screen take up the whole screen? What I mean is to remove the menu, restart, d-pad, and A and B buttons and instead have the actual part that shows your game, take up the whole entire screen on your moniter?

Like, for example. This is how it is.

But this is how I want it:

I don’t know if that’s possible, but it should be!

I think there should be a button on the side of the screen that toggles it.

You can always zoom in if it’s in a browser window, but that is awkward and imperfect. I agree that this would be pretty neat! It would be especially good for screenshots too.

there is a way. you have to make it into and HDML file and edit that to get rid of the editor, the dimensions will be weird but it will mostly be full screen when you launch it in the browser. see this page: [Getting rid of the simulator for Itch.io - #6 by jwunderl](https://forum.makecode.com/t/getting-rid-of-the-simulator-for-itch-io/16756/6)
