GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 94090
View, Full Screen

"View Full Screen F11" Take the current document window Maximise it Hide the rulers Hide the status bar (just added a Request for enhancement to allowing Status bar hiding which blocks this bug). Also hides Menu Bar if in use. Not sure what should be done with palettes and dialogs. When in Full Screen Mode hittining F11 should bring you back to the previous view/toggle fullscreen. Esc should also get you out of view fullscreen. The reason i call this 'pseudo full screen' is that in what i consider a true full screen would be more like a Kiosk, where even the window frame is hidden and any toolbars or buttons would be right against the edge (Fitz Law) the menubar would then be almost like on a Mac The full screen mode of Mozilla and Internet Explorer and Media Player are good implemenations. The Abiword fullscreen is a poor mans fullscreen and somewhat lacking, but still makes it much easier to show easily show as much as possible of what is going on.

I see that recent gtk2 based versions of gThumb have a fullscreen feature, that works in Metacity at least so a proper fullscreen is possible, although my above suggestions would provide useful fallback for window managers which dont support it. I have looked at Adobe Photoshop and it has the facility to show fullscreen with or without the menubar which would be nice too.
2004-11-06 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org> * app/commands.c app/commands.h : added view_fullscreen_callback() view_unfullscreen() app/menus.c : use it (/View/Fullscreen) thus fixing bug #94090 * app/disp_callbacks.c : use view_unfullscreen() for GDK_Escape ALso modified to allow handling of unmodified keys again (aren't there plenty of bug reports for this?
