Maximised or Fullscreen at startup

You can configure Emacs to start in maximised mode (just like maximising an applications window) or in fullscreen mode for minimum distraction.

   ;; Use to disable fullscreen animations in OSX. (default nil)
   dotspacemacs-fullscreen-use-non-native nil

   dotspacemacs-maximized-at-startup t
