Typically when a game(or potentially any 3d application) is fullscreen, 
that game(or 3d application) has exclusive control and desktop 
elements(the desktop environment and the windows within) are no longer 
rendered. As a result, frame rate is increased, latency is reduced, and 
stuttering/jittering are reduced or non existent.

However, it's possible to "fake" fullscreen by using borderless windowed 
mode which does not provide the performance benefits of fullscreen while 
being 'fullscreen".

Basically what I'm asking is: Does JavaFX just disable window 
decorations(title bar/resize borders) and overlays the application over 
the OS's desktop or is it *truly* fullscreen?
