Full Screen Mode. When any application is in full-screen mode (eg. when you are watching a movie on full-screen) this options will prevent showing Collections over the full-screen application.

Hide Collections when full screen app is active - automatically recognizes when the application enters full-screen mode. In addition, you can exclude applications that on your Mac are false positive recognized as applications in full-screen mode (e.g., mouse pointer tracking applications).

Hide Collections when defined app is active - iCollections will not automatically detect the full-screen mode. Instead you should define which applications will be considered full-screen. When any app from the list is active, Collctions will hide. Full screen mode causes all Collections to be hidden even if a Collection has the "Don't hide" option set.
