I started using the Epim Notes Module for creative writing because of it's great feature set.
Obviously it was not exactly designed for this... but except for a few missing features it is better than many Programs that were made specifically for this kind of work.
I was looking for a fullscreen distraction free setting, but did not find it. Is this feature available? If not, would it be possible to implement it in the future?

Re: Distraction Free Writing - Fullscreen
By distraction free writing I mean basically a completely blank Screen with absolutely no tools/toolbars/menu/taskbar visible and a black background.
This should be a toggle option for notes and it should be possible to specify margins for this fullscreen writing mode.
I would need this for better focus when writing long texts. I tested it in other programs and it works for me.
I think it's easier to see it in action. If you want, check for example https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ there is a free portable version.
After starting it, go to settings > themes and choose "oldscool. Toggle Fullscreen on/off with F11.
This is a very basic program. There are other more advanced programs for creative writing out there. "Scrivener" for example - which has a outlinig like Epim.
@DG - thank you for the link. I read the article.
