Description spark 2004-03-10 20:17:31 UTC 
Full screen mode in browsers seems to be used a fair bit as a way of giving
presentations. It would be nice to be able to "auto-hide" the toolbar in
fullscreen mode for this use-case. I'm sure there are other instances where
this would be useful too. Internet Explorer supports this well.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-04-17 08:45:08 UTC 
Can you add a complete explanation of how exactly it's implemented in IE ;)
Comment 2 spark 2004-04-17 14:25:26 UTC 
When in full screen mode, you right-click the toolbar and select "Autohide".
When you move the mouse away from the top of the screen, the toolbar sides out.
If you move your mouse to the top edge of the screen, the toolbar slides in
again. When a page is loading, the loading indicator (spinning globe, mini
progress bar and min/max/close controls) slides in from the top right. See
screenshots.

Comment 5 Christian Persch 2004-06-01 13:55:27 UTC 
Should look at code in gnome-panel/gnome-panel/panel-toplevel.c. Might be worth
to distill that code into a generic auto-hide widget, instead of just copypasting.

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o

FWIW, the libview auto-drawer widget is almost there, apparently it doesn't cope too well with the auto-completion drop-down though
Comment 8 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-01-14 00:59:33 UTC 
updating version fields.

Still valid.
Comment 12 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2011-12-26 22:16:11 UTC 
Having a permanently visible toolbar in fullscreen mode makes Epiphany hardly usable on small netbook screens. Gedit has a auto-hide toolbar in fullscreen mode; it would be great if Ephy could recycle it.

The toolbar is hidden by default in fullscreen mode now, closing this.
