Writer Full Screen View

Please do not translate the page yet

The goal is to propose to the user of module Writer a special mode dedicated to writing without any distraction.

Specification

OpenOffice already provide a "FullScreen" mode in Writer. The idea is to enhanced and improve it for children.

The fullscreen mode for OOo4kids should offer the following characteristics:

• FullScreen.
• Write in white with background black. Or the opposite. (Could be a preference)
• Zoom to be "adapted to width" automatically
• Keep some shortcuts to page up/down, start/end of documents, …
• Remove the rulers
• Remove the grid

Ideas

Keywords in the code : SID_WIN_FULLSCREEN

Interface definition :

• sfx2/sdi/sfx.sdi
• SW :
• SD : sd/sdi/ViewShellBase.sdi
• SC :

Note: in sfx2/source/menu/menu.src is defined "Leave Fullscreen mode ...", but the string never appears -> bug ?

Other information:

• When toggling in fullscreen mode, a toolbox should be used (ToolBox RID_FULLSCREENTOOLBOX found in sfx2/source/appl/app.src ) => what happens ?

Files where the SID appears :

• sfx2/source/view/viewfrm.cxx
• SW : sw/source/ui/uiview/view2.cxx, sw/source/ui/docvw/romenu.cxx
• SD : sd/source/ui/view/ViewShellBase.cxx
• SC : sc/source/ui/view/viewutil.cxx
