Hello, I'm using illustrator recently. When I'm in the software, the dock of applications on mac doesn't want to disappear and I can't find any settings that allow me to do it.

I think the author has the same concern as me. I would like illustrator to be in full screen when I work on it. But the top bar remains as well as the dock :

Shortcut 'F'

 

Cycles between screen modes

- Normal Screen Mode

- Full Screen with Menu Mode

(Just keep hitting 'F' to get back to your choice of Screen Mode)

Use View Modes in illustrator . The shortcut is "F"

Also you can use

View artwork in presentation mode

In Presentation mode, the active artboard of the current Illustrator document fills the entire screen. In this mode, the application menu, panels, guides, grids, and all selections are hidden. It is a non-editable mode in which only the artwork on the artboard is displayed. This mode works well for presenting design ideas.

To enter the presentation mode, do one of the following:

  • Choose View > Presentation Mode.
  • Press Shift + F.
  • Click the icon on the toolbar and choose Presentation Mode in the drop-down list.
  • (macOS only) Press the Navigation button on the Touch panel. Click the arrow controls to switch between the next and the previous artboards.

To navigate between the artboards, press the left or the right arrow key to move to the previous or the next artboard, respectively. Alternatively, click anywhere to move to the next artboard.

To exit this mode, press Esc key.

Note: No other keyboard shortcut works when you are in Presentation mode.

Have you chosen to keep in dock? Right-click (control-click) on the dock icon and choose options. You should then be able to remove.
