It would be nice to be able to minimize or hide the Ribbon in the Biblical Places. It takes up 25% or more of the window, in addition to the extra graphics along the bottom. As it is it really is difficult to see when not in the full screen window.
Does zooming in on the map help, or F11 to put in reading view temporarily, then F11 to put it back as it was?
Zooming would be fine, if there wasn't so much of the window used by the ribbon. F11 isn't really an option. Detaching the tab and putting it back is faster.
I'll submit your request.

Thank you. I can right click and detach tab and then drag it back to its original spot faster that the F11 view can set up.

Thanks for the suggestion. Several of the Tools open up in a separate floating window for just this reason: you really need more space to see them, and then you can even make that window full-screen and toggle between the different windows (Alt-Tab is your friend).
I expect we'll continue to add information to the strip at the top: so if anything, i'd like to see it get a little bigger (right now information is often hiding off-screen where you may never see it). A mechanism for hiding it might make sense, though.
I have found a solution that I really like. I considered using Spaces (osx) and putting it full screen in a separate space. But it is still a little clumsy using spaces. However, I got an idea and did a little search on the net for what I hope might exist. Sure enough, I found a free app called Warp that lets you move between spaces with just a swoop of the mouse, making your desktop, in my setup, 9 times the size of the screen. Now I can just move between the spaces effortlessly. I have the main study space in the center and other windows spread out around. So far I like it. If the layout would just remember to put the windows back in the right space it would be bordering on perfect. But moving them is pretty easy. So it is still a pretty good solution.
