On CTRL+F I change to advanced mode, but I want to work on a simple borderless fullscreen, like, I’d imagine, any other software. Is it impossible?
No, sorry, the advanced mode is the closest you can get.

That’s sad, but thanks for the reply. I saw a comment in Steam from 2016 where the dev talked about implementing it… I guess they need more time.
Hi there! Actually this feature is already implemented for v1.3-beta but I don’t want to release it on v1.2 to avoid some stability issues (the feature needs some adjustments yet).

I really appreciate the feedback, thanks! Can we expect it rather sooner than later? Maybe this year even? It’s something very minor, but it changes a whole lot the feeling of using Aseprite.
I work with everything dark themed and without this feature I have this white bar hurting my eyes every time I use the software.
There are downloadable custom themes, including dark theme, if thats your primary issue👍 https://aseprite.org/themes
I already use a dark theme. My primary issue is the white header above applications that do not provide real fullscreen, as I’ve already mentioned.
Hi, dacap, wanted to ask if we can have totally fullscreen mode i.e. like F8, but for working mode (not just preview) i.e. if currently I do F11 + Ctrl+F two times it still leaves theme’s rectangle at screen borders. Maybe option “Hide borders in fullscreen”. But what we want is to edit art just like it would look like in game engine in fullscreen. Which also suggests camera snapping option in View menu (to grid, I suppose) for easier view aligning (not when panning, of course). Like “Snap view to grid” checkbox (snap top left corner).
P.S. I managed to edit theme to get rid of 3 pixel border (for those interested, just find “editor_normal” and “editor_selected” parts declarations and assign w1/w3/h1/h3 to “0”, to avoid changes in color bar create “editor_normal2” and “editor_selected2” with non-zero edges and use where original used except “editor_view” style). Great, really. Read thru all src code trying to find it and it was basic skinning feature. Good. Now it’s up to how to force view snapping.
Hi @BraidAcer, glad to know that you find a way to remove the border. It’s a good idea (both, full screen without borders and a snap view to grid).
Probably we can add some kind of “Zen” mode (Ctrl+F11? Ctrl+K, Z?), the only bad part of removing the borders on full screen is that the “Auto-scroll on editor edges” option does’t work anymore.
There are many possible configurations

I forgot to mention that using Shift+Space+arrow keys you can scroll one tile to each side.

Wow, that’s super! Tiled view scrolling is something very useful. And about Zen mode Ctrl+F11 could be a variant. Because currently pressing two times Ctrl+F and one time F11 is somewhat long combination. It will be really smart to get from full screen borderless mode right into normal window with visible Timeline and status bar and back with single keyboard shortcut.
Then also in full screen it could be good to have some way to see selected palette colors when changing them with [,] and alike keys. And it’s too long to switch there and back for chaning color. As well as Timeline too. Hmm. Maybe holding some key could show palette overlay? Tab? Currently pressing Tab in full screen mode makes it toggle invisibly, which is kind of weird.
I think that given the (quite large) number of combinations and possibilities, probably Ctrl+F should be customizable. There is a work-in-progress to add named workspace layouts, probably one of these layouts (customizable too) could be the Ctrl+F full-screen mode, and other layouts actionable through other customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Yes, layouts would be great. Maybe with list of checkboxes for basic kinds of layouts (and optional adding your own). Only thing to notice is that I meant full screen mode where Palette and Timeline (and any other overlay panels) should be invisible by default and only become visible when holding Tab or maybe toggled with Tab. Pressing Ctrl+F to switch layouts wouldn’t be too great here if more than 2 layouts (normal and full screen). And pressing just Tab to show/hide Timeline wouldn’t be enough as Palette/Tiles/Color wheel/Edit color panels are all also wanted at specific moments and then should be hidden again.
