Is this going to be an option in the future Plenty of people want to make smart device apps which run in 'kiosk' mode, which is not as easy to do as you might think

You can hide the title bar by setting the form's WindowState to FormWindowState.Maximized.

Sounds like you want kiosk-ish behaviour. You'll need to redirect the hardware keys.

the method I use is to use the FullScreen API to make the app um... FullScreen, This mostly stops the user gettign to the start button, but not always (i.e. via the SIP). We also disable the hardware buttons.... and have a timer running to look at the title of the foreground app and if it's not my app, or in a list of allowed apps (e.g. "Phone") then make my app come to the front.

There isn't a easy way to lock-down a device!
