Full Screen Mode Preview 02:09

Full Screen Mode is a Mac feature which doesn't have an equivalent in Windows.  [Not to be confused with Full Screen in the Windows Scrivener version which is actually describing Composition Mode--this has been changed in the Windows Scrivener 3 version coming out soon.]
