AFAIK there is not yet any patch to restore full use of the screen as was possible in the full-screen mode of earlier firmware versions.

There is a patch to prevent the firmware being updated during sync, so it should be possible to re-install the old firmware that supports full-screen mode, patch it, and and stay on that version without giving up the ability to sync.

The lack of proper full-screen mode is a big blow, personally I won't be buying any new Kobo device that can't run a firmware version old enough to support the old full-screen mode.
