Special full display mode for always on top feature #44158

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When "always on top" feature is enabled, a user can see a frame around the window. But that frame can't be seen, when the window is in full screen mode (taskbar still visible, but all other opened windows are under that opened one). Such behavior can confuse, especially an unexperienced user. Even I've found myself confused, while being quite experienced user.
Image as illustration (blue line at the bottom can be seen only due to UI enhancements, in normal user scenario wouldn't be seen at all):

Possible solutions:

  • keep the frame visible in full screen mode (in my opinion the best one, combines strong sides from both worlds - full screen and always on top seen):
Image
  • automatically disable always on top feature when full screen mode activated

  • disable full screen option if "always on top is enabled", only for a window where it is enabled

Scenario when this would be used?

When a user set the window to full screen mode while using "Always on top" feature.
