You could fullscreen them, yeah. Just for gitui on my monitor, I find that 67% is both sufficient and enough, and keeping a little bit of the other window in sight helps maintain spatial context.

Besides, when it's something like runtime logs in a terminal, I sometimes keep the terminal maximized (to avoid line wrapping), but only leave it peeking out, so that I can switch to it if I notice something strange in the left side of the output.

Okay, to each its own, but to me it still sounds a bit like a crazy workaround.
