Description

Description

Using set_simple_fullscreen allows for a fullscreen window that ignores the notch and renderd into the menu bar area, but I haven't been able to create an exclusive fullscreen with a specific video mode that can do the same.

I thought that with_fullsize_content_view(true) might work but it did not. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, if this is a bug, or if the capability isn't available.

Additionally, using set_borderless_game(true) with set_simple_fullscreen(true) doesn't seem to do anything. The menu or dock still pop up when you move the mouse to the top or bottom of the screen.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with set_simple_fullscreen, exclusive fullscreen with a specific video mode, with_fullsize_content_view(true), and set_borderless_game(true) on the stated macOS version. No source file or test is named; done means determining whether exclusive fullscreen can ignore the notch and whether the menu or dock can be prevented from appearing at the screen edges.
