Description

There is no method for resetting the style of a frame% after creation. This would be important for a fullscreen feature.
Basically (with hypothetical set-style function)
:

(call-with-values
(lambda () (get-display-size))
(lambda (width height)
(send #a frame# set-style (list 'no-caption))
(send #a frame# resize width height)))

Research direction

Start by locating the frame% style implementation and the platform-specific GUI backends; the issue names no files or tests. Read how frame styles are created and whether they can be changed after creation, then define completion as fullscreen support on all platforms with a reliable way to reset the frame style.
