Cool how to run an app with full screen

I wrote a small app by python,
I want to run it with full screen,
there is is a method called MainWindow.showFullScreen() in python
it works on debian desktop, win7 pc, but kindle...
kindle task bar is always on the top of my main GUI
anyone can give me a hint to run app with full screen? or need run some kind shell command before call the app?
many thanks!

However, be careful. Hiding system bar can be dangerous: if your kindle does not have a "restart way" (for example a long press on the power button) you may not be able to close your app

thanks encol! my app has a quit button

but the link which you posted, it is just first page of "Kindle Developer's Corner" I searched in this Forums but do not find useful info about how to run a app with full screen
could you give me a specific hint(link)?
thanks!

And keep in mind that the KV does not have a usable serial port connection point.

You are working as if you have never in your life made a programming error -
Well the price of a KV-brick is yours to throw away -
go for it.

A good practice can be to take a wifi ssh session opened when testing your app. A "reboot" command can save your kindle in such cases

thank you for your advice Knc1, I stop to do that

PS >
actually I tried those 3 versions of shell on my KV 5.8.5, it looks do nothing, but I stop to try anything else before some bad thing happen

version 1 >
#!/bin/sh
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.pillow disableEnablePillow disable
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.pillow disableEnablePillow enable

version 2 >
#!/bin/sh
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.pillow disableEnablePillow disable

version 3 >
#!/bin/sh
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.pillow disableEnablePillow enable

after reboot kindle, these settings will be reset to default, is this right?
