It is a priceless feature and all mac editors have it. I wonder if for some reason it is very hard to implement under windows?

Most rely on key bindings to provide basic functionality for opening and saving files. They have no window border, and provide minimal interface. The benefit is you are left with only you and your text. I found easy for me to get into the frame of mind required for writing and was able to bang out part of a speech I have been procrastinating on for months. It felt kind of like just having a pen and paper like when I write poetry. Finlay, i settled on PyRoom; I liked the look and feel of it the most and found it easy to configure . If you are a writer (using any operating system) I suggest exploring the world of distraction free text editors. You can start by reading this article on TechMalaya.com [...]

WriteMonkey has lots of preferences you can tweak to turn off a lot of annoying garbage you don't want (on screen text area markers, stupid popup dialogs, etc) and change things to be the way you do want (like to use the full screen area). NotepadSX's biggest failing is it displays a glaring distracting white vertical scroll bar in full screen mode and there is no way to get rid of it, and a donation later and comments to his website, the developer author is decidedly out to lunch. For editing computer code, I recommend EditPlus ( http://www.editplus.com/ ) , which though it does not have a fullscreen mode, is feature packed and awesome for editing html, computer code, or any other computer related tecnical config file.

I just stumbled across it on google searching for "full screen text editor mac". I've tried all the Mac options outlined here and I have to say that one that you may have missed is MyTexts by MOApps - http://createlivelove.com/applications/applications.html It's a lot like WriteRoom, but prettier and auto-saves your documents inside the app. Great support from the developer too.
