Add option to not have text under the notch

LaunchBox for Android

In Android Launchbox some letters of words are cut off underneath the camera notch of my phone. This makes the app look like a beta and unfinished.

I know not all devices have this notch so it doesn’t make sense to move the text on all devices. RetroArch solves this by having an option to ‘Enable fullscreen over notch in Android and iOS devices’

My request is to have this same toggle in Android Launchbox.

As you can see in the below screenshots, without this toggle it makes Android LaunchBox look unpolished:

    Phone’s usually have the ability to correct itself for hardware specific notches like this. See if your phone has a setting that could help with this. Usually, the default on a phone with a notch is to only display the app up to where the notch is located, then there’s some device setting that would allow you to bypass that functionality and stretch the app past the notch part, which I assume is what you have on.

      Hi, I can go in the developer settings on my Pixel 8 Pro and enable all apps to cut off below the notch but the only app I would need this for is Launchbox. It was never an issue before this beta release.

      I'm sure all phones would have this issue and this only really benefits handheld gaming systems and TV’s. It's an even bigger problem when I choose not to hide the top status bar in Launchbox too as I get this
