This function requires the Pro License or up or the Show Control Module. See Licenses and functions.
The Control Panel can also permanently be displayed in fullscreen mode. In combination with individually designed interfaces this is a particularly interesting feature for permanent installations and operation via touch panels.
This is how you enable fullscreen mode:
Click on Options in the tool bar below the main menu and select Project Options – Control Panel on the left.
Under Fullscreen settings select the required size of fullscreen mode:
Full screen size ....enlarges the Control Panel to fill the entire monitor area.
Custom ...allows entry of position and size; the Control Panel is displayed as an area without any border around it.
Right-click a free area in the Control Panel and select Fullscreen Mode for the Control Panel to appear at the previously defined size.
Fullscreen mode can be terminated by pressing Shift + Esc!
The settings for the Control Panel can be such that the Control Panel is always opened in fullscreen mode after opening the project. See Options – Project Options – Control Panel.
You may want to enable password protection for fullscreen mode to protect the Control Panel against unauthorized closing. See Password protection.
When video presentations are to be started via a touch screen and displayed on the same monitor, the Control Panel may remain visible at the side when the aspect ratio deviates. This can be avoided by enabling function Display as topmost window under Options - Project Options - Control Panel.
Fullscreen mode is a particularly attractive feature in combination with individually designed graphic interfaces. See Graphic design of Control Panel.
Der Vollbildmodus ist besonders mit grafischen Oberflächen interessant, siehe Graphic design of Control Panel.
