Description
When in fullscreen, there are a few problems:
- not immediately clear that one is in fullscreen, i.e. using a virtual machine (especially novice users)
- not clear what key to use to go to windowed mode and/or to display the vbox popupmenu
Both problems can be solved by showing a banner on top of the screen, just like MSTSC (MS Terminal Server Client) does. This banner is always visible, but can be changed by the user to disappear in normal operation and to appear when hovering over the top section (auto-hide).
(sorry that I cannot a screenshot of this: the banner showed by MSTSC is considered by Windows as no part of the screen, thus not appear on a screenshot)
