Recently dipped into the configuration of KDE Plasma and I found something really annoying. These toolbars at the top and bottom dont disappear, when I want to play a game, even tho the game starts and is set to fullscreen mode. Additionally, this also really fucks with my mouse in a way, that I cant use the upper part of menus, because then my mouse snaps out of the window and reappears in the upper toolbar. How do I change this?

You have to hit Alt + F3 when the game window is focused, and select "Keep above others" from the menus.

There's also an option to get rid of titlebar and frame from games that insist on rendering those.

From the "Configure Application (something)" submenu option you can make those changes persistent.

Your other option is to configure your panels to autohide, dodge windows, or keep below windows.
