I have noticed that when you open a task in certain places, the details pop up in a center window. One of the cases is when you open tasks from the home tab like in the picture attached. ![Screenshot 2023-07-09 at 1.51.16 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/7/f/7f565e4e4552087bcb6501e27474b83e9f984378.jpeg) Is there a way to set things up so that tasks always open up like this? I really like seeing the tasks in the middle of the screen like this, I think it makes it easier to focus. ---

Hello @Esteban_Giannini👋 This is a nice idea! Maybe you already know… but for now you can click on the **Full Screen button** or simpler type **Tab+X** and you’ll be able to see only the task on your screen. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/0/d/0dbbd97e26b95f29ef1b780d6ef7852f979638cf.png) Hope that was helpful 😊 ---

Thank you @Elina_P. I use that feature but it always requires an additional step. It would be so nice to have the option to open it in that smaller window in the center. I also makes it easier to exit the task by just clicking outside the window. ---

Hi @Esteban_Giannini I think this would be one of those suggestions that 50% love and 50% do not want to see! I personally prefer the side view in a project as it shows the rest of the tasks and I can reference them if needed without having to go back and forth. ---

Hi @Danielle-GenD You are right, that is what I think it could be made an option by project so that it won’t bother those who don’t like it. ---

Is there any progress on this request? We were curious with our team if Asana could offer this option ---

Tasks have a “full screen” option and now 3 options as well ![CleanShot 2025-05-11 at 10.00.51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/4/d/8/4d8d8ba19b64e98c9e7c43fbd6f8e09772a4efdf.png) I don’t work for Asana, but I am pretty sure it will stay this way for now
