Full picture in window mode

(1.) When I run WMC in full-screen, I have full-screen picture, the lower bar with buttons in invisible and shows only when I need it, in transparent mode.

(2.) When I run WMC in window, I have picture with over and under black strips and the lower bar with buttons is still visible on the lower black strip.

Is it possible to set WMC to get in window similar effect as in (1.)? A full-window picture with invisible/ transparent lower bar? How to do it? Is it something with window dimensions?

It sounds like your windowed aspect is 4:3. With WMC windowed, hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and stretch the WMC window from the right side until it changes aspect to 16:9.

Note that any time your mouse is within the active area of WMC, the lower bar will be activated. Once there is no mouse activity, the bar will disappear in a certain number of seconds.
