No dupes and reasonable feature request => confirming.

Some ideas on this that were flown around on IRC a while ago...

We could make this similar to how iPhoto 6 works with its fullscreen editing mode. Panels could be created to the left and/or right of the content area in what is the "dead" (or "black") area. Or, alternatively, we could have a transparent menu two-thirds of the way down, again, like iPhoto 6 has.

Anyway, just some ideas. I'm sure Jasper can come up with something pretty. ;)

Indeed, the only browser for OS X that actually has a true kiosk (full-screen) mode is Opera.  Camino rocks, but this feature would certainly be welcome.  Just Google "full screen camino" to see how many places the lack of this feature is discussed.

Me, from the dupe:

"There are a lot of 3rd party ad-ons that can provide this functionality
(KioskMode, Mega Zoom).  Personally, I think this feature caters to a fringe
enough audience that they're more than sufficient to quell the demand."

If this information is helpful, Quicktime provides some relatively simple API's for fullscreen mode.

Mass-reassign of bugs still assigned to pinkerton to nobody; filter on "NoMoPinkBugsInCamino".

Taking. I have a rudimentary patch for this. Just need to deal with the toolbar and status bar, and remove some hard-coded geometry constants.

Attachment: Fix v1.0

Implements both Full Screen and Presentation modes, the difference being Presentation mode has no chrome except for scroll bars. Can go in/out of either full screen mode from the 'normal' mode, but not between the two. Includes modifications to the Session Manager to always save the windows in their 'normal' modes, otherwise the windows get uglified on restart.

Attachment: Updated MainMenu

Updated MainMenu to go with the patch. Adds Full Screen and Presentation items to the View menu. Modified with IB 2.5.6 on Leopard.
