Helskärmsläge

Helskärmsläge, or fullscreen mode, is a display setting that causes an application or operating system window to occupy the entire screen. This eliminates the traditional window borders, taskbars, and menus, presenting the content as a single, uninterrupted visual experience. Helskärmsläge is commonly used in gaming, video playback, presentations, and for immersive applications where distractions are minimized.

When an application enters helskärmsläge, its interface typically expands to fill the screen resolution. This can enhance the viewing experience by making graphics appear larger and more detailed, and it is often preferred for media consumption as it removes extraneous user interface elements. The method for exiting helskärmsläge varies by application and operating system, but common shortcuts include pressing the Escape key, using a function key (like F11), or a specific keyboard combination.

Operating systems also offer a system-wide helskärmsläge in some cases, often referred to as "kiosk mode" or "focus mode," designed for dedicated single-purpose devices or to restrict user interaction. The implementation and behavior of helskärmsläge can differ between different software and platforms, but the core principle remains consistent: to maximize the visible content area by hiding or removing all other interface elements.
