    I have the same issue as described here in March 2021.

    https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/full-screen-mode-has-mac-menu-and-dock-covering-remote-desktop

    Namely, the macOS menubar covers the virtual desktop when in fullscreen mode. It looks like this was a high priority feature request two years ago, is there a fix now?

    My client is running macOS 13.2.1 (on Apple silicon) and my server is running Ubuntu 20.04.5 with a Cinnamon2d desktop environment. I am using NoMachine 8.4.2.

    Thank you.

    I have the same issue with the same versions of MacOS and NoMachine but with CentOS 7.9 as the server. At one point I thought I found a setting in NoMachine to hide the toolbar on full screen, but I don’t seem to be able to find it anymore. Ideally you would support full screen natively via the third green button on the window which is currently implemented to zoom (see the NoMachine Zoom image attached) rather than full screen (see the Chrome FullScreen image attached).

    Hi Wintermute,

    I solved it in this way:
    Pull down the Apple menu and go to “System Preferences”;
    Choose “Dock & Menu Bar” preferences;
    Uncheck “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen” so it’s disabled.

    I don’t know if you are using two screens ?
    For one monitor I set it to “In Full Screen Only” and open NoMachine Client.
    For a dual monitor setup I set “On desktop only”.
    To set NoMachine Client to full screen mode I use CRL+ALT+F keyboard shortcuts.
    You can use page-peel or CTRL+ALT+0 to change NoMachine Client settings.

    Regards,
    Tom
