+Subject: [PATCH] Fullscreen current window and overlay application
+
+This actually fullscreens a window, instead of just hiding the statusbar
+and applying the monocle layout with [Alt]+[Shift]+[f].
+
+Addition to this patch now supports overlay apllication through config rules,
+that require fullscreen on run. e.g., KDE Presentation Mode, Quickshell custom overlays... etc.
+
+Note: If using a compositor like picom, do disable blur for those applications
