Hi,

If you create a window with the WS_POPUP flag like this:

winFullscreen = create( Window, "", 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, {WS_POPUP})

Then open it maximized like this:

openWindow(winFullscreen,Maximize)

Then it will fill the entire screen (including the taskbar of course)
and will have no caption bar or borders.

As for hiding the mouse I'm not entirely sure, maybe just set the
cursor of the window to a fully transparent cursor (must be a more
elegant way, but that would work).
