title: Ubuntu Vim full screen not really full screen
body: <p>I have added this to my .vimrc file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set lines=999 columns=999
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't seem to be full screen though. I have changed my background color to grey, but I can still see the purple terminal surrounding vim. This isn't a huge deal, but it is a little annoying to look at. I'm just wondering if there is a way to completely enter full screen mode in vim. Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p>
