Full Screen Mode

Post by RichG »

My internet browsers have a 'Full Screen' view, usually by pressing F11.

Is this something that could be added to Muso - hiding the side panel / menu / status bars / windows task bar / etc. ?

When I use the 'explore HTML/CSS' facility to view the browser in IE and hit F11 it looks great - would love to be able to do that with Muso itself.

Good idea! You'd want the toolbar visible presumably though, otherwise you wouldn't have browser back, player control etc.

Good point - would be even better if these could be themed somehow.

Yeah that's another feature request - to move some of those controls to those inside the browser area.

Check out version 2.5.07 - I couldn't quite get the F11 key working since the browser part of the screen intercepts it if it's in focus (as it is most of the time) - but there's a new icon top right to allow you to expand full-screen. Move the mouse to the left edge of the screen to show the left panel, or to the top edge to show the toolbar (which allows you to de-maximise). I like it!

Wow - fabulous! I like the way you've implemented this with the active edges.
Shame about the key but that's really no big deal.

Thanks.

It works up to a point - if you're focused on the web browser the browser intercepts it. Better to just use the icon I think.

One thing I noticed is that in full screen mode I want to hit BACK alot, but it's a bit of a pain to open up the toolbar to do this every time. So I've implemented Control + Left Arrow to go back - any media key on your keyboard assigned to this task should also work.
