Full screen motor view

Hello,
I think it's a good idea to have an option to view our 'creation' on full screen (to make screenshots).
Is it possible/already discussed/planned ?

Full screen is kinda hard to do, as that render window doesn't like scaling.
Note that when you use the take photo button the screenshot it takes IS fullscreen (no UI, higher resolution)

That's a good idea for who has pc's with small screens like my cheap 15.6" laptop

It's a good idea for any pc, IMO. it's just wasted space as it is.

Not really, as the main menu window will become the actual main game window with all your factory stuff etc in it, with floating windows for the engine designer etc.
Also, as I've said a few times, there are a few technical issues with getting those windows to perfectly scale to all resolutions.

Owh, ok I understand !
So for the "end game" there will be multiples windows to configure other things than the engine.

That's right, but next time I buy a screen, I don't want to choose a 24" because I know only 20" can be "really" used
In fact, I tried all the resolution and there is always this space around the engine designer.

Yes, there will be floating windows for different things, and the main game will be in the background pane.

I like 1280x720 it means I can upload smaller files to Youtube than over 1GB files for a 1080p video recording I might not do 1080p videos often but when I do they are just for fun
