I suggest zen mode doesn’t need co-ordinates,but perhaps it does need the komi displayed.

You can already toggle the coordinates, no need to force it one way or the other in Zen mode.
…
Correct. First toggle, then Zen. The other way round doesn’t work for obvious reason 
A (+5,5) right of the white stone wouldn’t be - imo - very distracting.
Yes, you could do toggle every time. I’m suggesting that it should always be off during zen mode.
You only have to toggle the coordinates off once, the setting is remembered
Not if you want to see the co-ordinates after the game, for reviewing purposes.
I don’t know how widely known this is, but hovering the coordinates in the chat shows the point on the board and ctrl+click on the board puts them in chat, you don’t need them displayed. That’s how I use it and I have them toggled off by default, but that’s a matter of taste. To force them off for everyone in zen mode just to save you a click seems selfish.
I guess there’s always some use case that I haven’t thought of, but I can’t imagine anyone wanting co-ordinates showing in zen mode.
I would like to suggest the Zen mode to have the time controls/ blocks/ images to the left and right of the board.
That way when in F11 “Full Screen” the board will be centered on the screen.
An alternative would be to have the time/captured total above the board, but just (smaller) numbers.
Thx.
p.s.
Re: co-ords: These are useful for discussions, not while playing, especially in Zen.
I disable them before starting any game. Likewise, adding ‘chat’ to Zen is a bit contrary to the idea of clearing out the annoying visual debris of the standard player mode view: what’s next, coffee bar? background noise of live go club in downtown Seoul? How about an airport runway? Ukraine combat theme with drones, artillery, helicoptors, snipers etc … anyway …

Is it possible to hide the timer when looking at correspondence games in Zen mode? If not this feature would be welcome. It would be nice to zoom in a little more on the board (especially if it’s 25x25 or the like) and ignore how many days or weeks remain on the clock.
How is putting away the clock related to maximizing the size of the board? We can have both.

Did the board get bigger or is it just me? In any case I like it.

Is there a possibility/option to stay in zen mode while playing moves in my correspondence games? Currently after i play a move it skips to the next correspondence game but leaves the zen mode.

Settings - Game preferences - activate zen mode by default
Does this not work for correspondence games?
Unfortunately not. This only works for live games. I have the “auto-advance to next game after making a move” setting engaged. And i like the zen mode. But with correspondence games it leaves the zen-mode after i submit a move and am directed to the next game. There i have to activate the zen-mode again. It would be nice to have a setting where you can decide to stay in zen mode while skipping through your correspondence games.

Yeah, I would support making that a global preference, not just for live games.
