Maybe it's a pain to implement but I would love to get that bit of extra screen real estate too
Looking at the dev center it doesnt look too crazy…

In OsX 10.11 you can hide the menu bar in the General System Prefs. Almost full screen.

Build 15.5.628. It only happens when you have two monitors, you need to have the ‘full screen’ icon in the window stoplights. See attached.

No idea then. Are you on Sierra 10.12.1? The monitors are attached to a GTX 980 card.

Wow that's super weird! It is something that has changed since 10.12.1. Mines kinda broken and unusable but I guess it's a step in the right direction

The OS version can have a surprising effect sometimes. i.e. the performance monitor always crashed but started to magically work in OsX 10.11+.

Apple's OS has some serious bugs in it.

Yeah I think I'm gonna have to roll back, my Wacom is doing some really weird stuff. I might let them get that sorted out

Has there been any progress towards a Houdini full screen feature for Mac OSX with a single monitor? It really doesn't seem that hard to implement. Maybe this works already and I'm missing it.

Yeah this would be really nice, I found some details on it and it doesn't seem too tricky -

Also I'm pretty sure QT supports it too.https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#showFullScreen [doc.qt.io]

Did you try this Python code?

window = hou.ui.mainQtWindow()
hou.ui.setHideAllMinimizedStowbars(not window.isFullScreen())
if window.isFullScreen():
    window.showMaximized()
else:
    window.showFullScreen()
