I did install the latest SIMBL, and then I installed Megazoomer (downloaded the latest version from the developer's Web site), and it works fine on my OS X 10.6.7. Finally I can see Scrivener's corkboard in actual full-screen.
If you don't want to install SIMBL, though, but would like to dim the menubar, you should check out a great little app called Menu Eclipse. I got it from the Mac App Store, and I use it when I prefer to only dim the menubar instead of hiding it. If you're into distraction-free environment, also check out HazeOver: a relative newcomer, it elegantly highlights the foreground window, while dimming other windows in the background (kinda like a more veteran app called Isolator).

I did not experience any bugs (Adobe Indesign doesn't work, but it doesn't need to work - it has a fullscreen feature inside).
Thanks!

Can't say if it works on PPC machines (or 10.4 for that matter), but it should.

If you use this app and try to use tabs graphical glitches appear very, very often!:/

How about an alternate version (or alternate key combo) which instead uses the built-in Universal Access zoom feature so that all the contents of the window (such as text) are scaled up instead of remaining the same size. It's understandable that, were this even possible, you'd probably end up with some unused screen space unless the window dimensions match your display's ratio.

This plug-in will interfere with the proper functioning of AppleScript-based apps. I've verified this (after quite a bit of frustration) with Carbon Copy Cloner 2.3 and OnyX 1.7. Some or all of their controls will not work properly if megazoomer is active.
On the upside, it works great and does exactly what it claims to. I'm just not willing to go in and disable it everytime I need to use these other apps.
