The N900 and maemo5 designers had the bright idea of removing the fullscreen and menu hardware buttons and did not provide a standard UI replacement, leaving each one to find his own solution, grrr

Ok, I have implemented a fullscreen button, but no way it can work like the one you have shown me. So I have to find the right placement and I have doubts where to put it.
If I place it in the lower rightmost corner, as it seems to be the UI convention for what you have shown me, then the status bar will have to be mandatory in fullscreen, taking away screen real state.
I could place it in the toolbar, either in the top left or the top right corner, and then the toolbar would be mandatory (right now it is just enabled by default, it just happens that you can't disable it because you are unable to open the menu).

What do you think? What other non nokia hildon applications in the N900 do?
