Created attachment 183032 [details] Screenshot of Krita on Android, Dex disabled SUMMARY On a Samsung Galaxy S9 tablet, Krita has unneeded bars on the top and the bottom. They are unneeded because if the user needs them, they can just scroll down from the top to unhide them. On Dex, the issue is pretty signifnicant, stealing away a huge portion of the working area. Without Dex activated, the issue is less significant but still persists. (Note that Dex is pretty useful, I just leave it turned on all the time). For comparison, Drawpile (also uses Qt) has no bars like that. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Krita on a Samsung device without Dex activated and observe the top and bottom parts. 2. Close it, turn on Samsung Dex, open Krita again. 3. Install and open Android version of Drawpile. OBSERVED RESULT Big or medium-big bars on both top and bottom of Krita. EXPECTED RESULT No bars on Krita, to save space. Bars visible when the user moves their finger from the top to the middle of the screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Qt Version: 5.15x

Does ticking the fullscreen toggle in the statusbar (it's on the right, next to the selection mask toggle) make a difference for you?
Created attachment 183034 [details] Screenshot of Drawpile on Android On Drawpile, accessing the system is still possible just by touching and moving a finger from the top to the middle of the screen. Even on Dex, the Dex specific buttons do appear when you do that. No functionality is lost, it's just hidden under one more manual action, which is way more preferable for me than two thick bars wasting already precious vertical space. Note that on Drawpile on 100% scale the rounding of the screen starts to become a problem (the tiny File button and right bottom button are cut a little bit by the corner), but it's mostly aesthetics and it doesn't affect functionality, and Drawpile 100% seems smaller than Krita's 100% (maybe because I changed the font size in Krita). Getting Krita's menu bar and the bottom bar a few pixels to the middle from both sides would solve the problem if it's something we'd want to fix.
-.- Of course it does. Why haven't I thought of it? (I was using the Dex's button for Full Screen but not the Krita one). It first just moves the whole window leaving a huge black bar on the bottom, but trying to access the bars kinda redraws the window and it becomes what it should be. Thanks! It will make it so much easier.
