HUD overlay vanishes when target enters native fullscreen on macOS #569

Description

@wyddy7

On macOS, when a recorded application enters native fullscreen (via the green title-bar button or cmd+ctrl+F), the Recordly HUD overlay disappears from view. Fullscreen apps live on their own Space; the HUD's BrowserWindow is transparent, frameless, alwaysOnTop without a window type, so it stays on the original Space and is no longer reachable.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Recordly. HUD appears.
  2. Fullscreen any other app via the green title-bar button.
  3. HUD is no longer visible until exiting fullscreen.

Reproduced on macOS 14 with the green title-bar button and cmd+ctrl+F.

Workaround: exit fullscreen, or use the system tray icon to stop the recording.

Happy to send a small PR.
