New fullscreen and maximized layouts [breaking change]

[leukipp]

Previous behavior (v2.4.0):

• fullscreen layout: Windows are taking up the whole tiling area (considering panels and desktop margins).
• maximized layout: did not exist.

New behavior (starting with v2.5.0):

• fullscreen layout: Windows are taking up the whole screen area (ignoring panels and desktop margins).
• maximized layout: Windows are taking up the whole tiling area (considering panels and desktop margins).

To summarize, the fullscreen layout behavior has changed (it's now really fullscreen), the new maximized layout behaves the same as the previous fullscreen layout.

Please have a look into the latest config.yaml and update/swap those settings according to your needs:

# Initial tiling layout ("vertical-left" | "vertical-right" | "horizontal-top" | "horizontal-bottom" | "maximized" | "fullscreen").
tiling_layout = "vertical-right"

# Activates the maximized layout (Space = Blank).
layout_maximized = "Control-Shift-Space"

# Activates the fullscreen layout (Return = Enter).
layout_fullscreen = "Control-Shift-Return"

The new fullscreen layout is ignored by design in the next/previous layout cycler and can also be activated (only activated not deactivated) by pressing F11. This behavior depends on your application and operating system support.

... can also be activated (only activated not deactivated) by pressing F11.

This is not true anymore since v2.5.1.
F11 will open the single window in fullscreen, without changing the underlying layout.
