How to hide bottom Panel?

[Tekl 8]

I'm trying to use Affinity Photo with the Apple Pencil for digital painting. My problem is, that my hand often accidentally rests on the bottom contextual panel and activates transparency lock for example. Is there a way to let it disappear in full screen mode. Or can it be moved elsewhere?

Or how do others deal with the panel?

I believe if you turn on touch for gestures only, you should be fine. this is done in settings.

Thanks. This option does not help, as it only avoids drawing with the finger but it does not disable touching interface elements.

Well, I recently found a solution by accident. Double tapping the fullscreen icon will also get the option bar off the screen. Yeah.
