### Problem Description

FreeTube gets a lot of issue reports by users who do not know that they have fullscreen mode on and/or do not know how to exit it. This is referring to the whole app — not a video — being open in fullscreen.

### Proposed Solution

Add some kind of identifier to the user experience that fullscreen is on and can be disabled. E.g., a toggle in Theme Settings to enable/disable fullscreen.

### Alternatives Considered

I'm not familiar with how other apps have handled this problem, but there could be other good solutions to this. If anyone does have a better idea in mind that another app employs, please share it.
