It'd be really great to have my menu bar auto-hide when an application is full-screen, but still be accessible when I move my mouse to its trigger position. This differs from the existing dodge maximised option, as it should only dodge full-screen programs, but not maximised ones. I'd really appreciate this simple fix, as it'd greatly improve the usability of my dock. Thanks!
does not make sense to me to have a dock shown over maximized windows, I really dont understand it. If you want an overlayed dock over fullscreen windows then this is possible only under x11 and you need to enable Behavior(advanced settings) -> Can be above fullscreen windows.

The can be above fullscreen windows option doesn't really match what I'm looking for. Here's an example use case: 1. My menu bar panel is set to always visible. I do this so that when I have an application maximised it will still be visible. 2. When an application goes into fullscreen, it will obscure my menu bar, so I won't be able to access it. 3. If I enable the "can be above fullscreen windows" options, the menu bar will always obscure fullscreen windows, meaning that I may not be able to access UI controls for the window. The behaviour that I want is that when a window goes fullscreen, the menu bar will hide, so that it can still be accessed by moving my cursor to the top of the screen, but so that it doesn't obscure full-screen content. This is different from the dodge maximised or dodge active options, as it should act as the always visible option, except for when a program is fullscreen. This behaviour is not currently available with any of the existing options as far as I am aware. Hopefully this clarification helps you understand what I mean. If you need more clarifications, I can make a quick screen recording at some point.

> why dont you just use AutoHide visibility mode? Autohide will autohide the panel all the time. I only want it to hide when I have an application that is full-screen on that monitor.
