The screens with black lines at the top and bottom are slowly being phased out and replaced with full-screen images, so you'll be gaining a lot more vision on the top of the images than before.
You can also click on the "hide" button in the quick menu to hide the text at any time, although Android and Ren'py don't play well together so some devices are having trouble seeing the quick menu. I'm working on a fix, but it seems to be device-specific so progress is slower than I would like.
