📝 Provide a description of the new feature

What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature? What is the scenario this would be used?

Allow us to go full screen to the borders of a zone for applications, games, media played through browsers, media player applications and any other Win32 applications. See example below how I have a YouTube video full screened to a zone with the help of a browser extension.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but what is the difference between a window in a zone, and a window maximized in a zone?

Here is a quick example.

Maximized Edge window on YouTube.

Right. I see. Pretty clear now.
You have a monitor that's 2_⅔ the width and 1_⅓ the height of 1920x1080 resolution. If you would have two monitors next to eachother, you could use one of them to full-screen a window. But that isn't helpful at all. Sorry, it's weekend and I had a beer :D

On my second beer here.

Yes that's right. I am on a 5120x1440 resolution which makes FancyZones a must have. Being able to go full screen on just the zone and not the monitor would be really useful.

It's really awesome actually I could split the monitor into 4 zones of1280x720 and 1 zone of 2560x1440. This is great of general media consumption, work and gaming for those games that don't work great in super ultra wide or ultra wide. Also streaming...
