Open the dashboard in full screen on a tablet or other device

Hello! I wanted to know if there was a way to open the dashboard in full screen?
Like by adding an argument such as
?

Here’s an idea that interests me, I’m thinking of eventually reusing an old 2-in-1 laptop as a tablet dedicated to Gladys :+1: (but I can’t vote anymore!)

Wouldn’t it

Why not, but I can’t guarantee anything :slight_smile: I categorized it « feature-request-ux » anyway to keep it in mind

Yep I understand very well, I tried just in case :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay, it’s not that simple!

On Chrome, that’s not an allowed behavior. It’s normal — if a site could automatically put you into full screen it would be dangerous; it would be a popup free-for-all.

Putting a site into full screen is only possible on a click of an element.

I don’t know if it’s possible on Kiosk Browser (which browser is behind Kiosk Browser?)

However, I noticed a small bug that appeared in a recent release related to fullscreen, which I’ll fix.

If you want, I made a Gladys Plus build so you can test whether a possible GET parameter would work for you.

You can test here: https://full-screen-dashboard.gladys-plus.pages.dev/

You can add a parameter:

?fullscreen=1

And tell me if it works for you.

One question for me: I don’t know if you were talking about the browser fullscreen, or if you simply meant hiding the top bar in Gladys. If it’s just a matter of hiding it, that’s pretty trivial.

On Safari it’s ok, I’ll check on the tablet tonight (it seems to me that it’s Chromium for Fully)

On Chrome on the work PC it’s ok too

What do you mean by “it’s ok”?

On Chrome, full-screen mode cannot be launched automatically, so it doesn’t work and it won’t work!

I’m on Chrome and it’s working fine:

So I’m really surprised

Yes ok we’re not talking about the same thing :slight_smile:

I was talking about the real fullscreen; everything inside the window is, of course, entirely under my control

To remove the button, I suggest:

?fullscreen=force

Which would be an option that completely removes the button

That works perfectly for me!

I’ve just finished and merged this development, which will be included in the next version of Gladys.

On the dashboard, add the option:

?fullscreen=force

This will force full-screen mode, and remove the options that allow exiting the dashboard.

Already changed on my part :slight_smile:
