Hi,

just had a thought for a gui development: a runtime mode, feasible for demos or "finished" applications where the user only gets presented with the finished program, and no menus. In opera it's called kiosk mode (http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/): all the menus are hidden, and the user should only interact with the program.

It doesn't have to go as far as opera's mode (and disable key shortcuts), but if it's not complicated, a "presentation mode" could be nice for patch showcase, finished performance patches or tools, ...
As far as I imagine, some simple options might be enough:

- hide menus
- hide window lane
- hide borders
- fullscreen mode

Best,

Sounds good!
Seems this is not supported in Tcl/Tk 8.3 but from 8.4 up it is.
Which, according to current 'policy', predestines it to be a plugin (?), actually a very simple one.
Shall be bind to F11!

Provided this fullscreen feature, (how) do want to be able to scroll the canvas? I suppose we just keep the scrollbars...?
