Hi @Lissie,

If you are referring to the window title bar, then yes it’s possible to remove it:

[Here](https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/12200/processing-3-how-to-setundecorated-true) is one that’s probably better than the one I posted above: void settings() { fullScreen(); } void setup() { surface.setSize(500,500); } void draw() { background(0); ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20); }

Example using `fullScreen()` and then setting the window size and location:

```processing
void settings() {
  fullScreen();
}

void setup() {
  surface.setSize(500, 500);
  surface.setLocation(200, 200);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20);
}

```

For that you need a way to measure time, check this for ideas on how to implement it:

> Hi @newprogrammer12, To understand better how it works, maybe start with a simpler example (without Java classes). Displaying a timer implies using time. In Processing we can get the current time since the beginning of the program in milliseconds with the millis() function. Let’s look at the following program: // Starts at the beginning of the program int timerStart = 0; int duration = 1000; void draw() { // Time spent since the beginning of the timer int timeSinceStart = millis() - tim…

Also the [`exit()`](https://processing.org/reference/exit_.html) function to terminate the sketch.
