How to hide menu in viewing mode?

This XnView is nearly perfect, but how can I hide the menu bar when in viewing mode? It just takes up that extra space where the picture could be bigger. Also, not sure if possible, but Honeyviewer has the option to hide everything, the program bar and the menu bar when viewing--so that you only see the photo and it's displayed at the biggest possible without the clutter of any menus or bars.
(However Honeyviewer sucks for me because it has NO file browser)
Thanks!!

Try Fullscreen (press F11).
I don't think hiding parts of interface is possible in any other way yet.

Full screen just goes full screen. I was wanting to hide the menu bar.

- Go to Info » About... to find the INI file location.
- Quit XnView.
- Open xnview.ini in a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
- Add the following lines to the end of the file:
- Save the changes.
- Restart XnView.

Thanks!

However, my About shows C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\xnview.ini as a location, but the file doesn't exist. It was actually here: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\XnView . So that .ini location for the About is a glitch that most likely needs to be reported.
That worked though. Now just need to get rid of the program bar and status bar lol.

You can toggle the status bar's visibility with
Ctrl+Shift+B or with the corresponding command in the
View menu.
