I have a 27" iMac, and the user interfaceof Ai takes the whole screen, so I can't have the window of another application visible while Ai is running.

In the menu bar, I can scroll down the “Display”menu (“Affichage” in French) and get to “Screen mode” (“Mode écran”). There, I can choose between three modes: Normal Screen, Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, Full Screen Mode without Menus. The first one is checked, that is Normal Screen.

I am using Illustrator 24.0.1

Thanks for any help.

I do not know the name of the Application Frame command in French, but it’s the sixth command in the Window (Fenêtre) menu.

Thank you MikeGondek for your answer.

I didn't find any green circle in the Ai window, as you can see from the screenshot attached. What you see is the Window which shows up when I open a old file. Even if this file very small, Ai takes up all the room in my 27" screen. I would like that, from the opening, Ai takes only a part of the screen, so I can look at another window, say a LaTeX or Word window to copy from.

P.S. I didn't find the answer button, so I answered to myself.
