:fullscreen

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The :fullscreen CSS pseudo-class represents an element that's displayed when the browser is in fullscreen mode.

/* Selects any <div> that is being displayed in fullscreen mode */
/* Implemented in Firefox, WebKit/Chrome, and Edge/IE using prefixes;
   Edge also supports the non-prefixed version */
div:-moz-full-screen {
  background-color: pink;
}

div:-webkit-full-screen {
  background-color: pink;
}

div:fullscreen {
  background-color: pink;
}

Note: The W3C spec uses the single word :fullscreen—without a dash—but both the WebKit and Gecko experimental implementations use a prefixed variant with two words separated by a dash: :-webkit-full-screen and :-moz-full-screen, respectively. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer use the standard convention: :fullscreen and :-ms-fullscreen, respectively.
