Description | Use the hide taskbar command to use the full screen. For example, in a kiosk or multimedia application, the task bar is a distraction for users and in this case you may prefer to hide it. The hide taskbar command can produce unexpected result when used in conjunction with backdrop operations. The following syntax is supported:
This is the case where the backdrop is visible but the task bar is hidden when the application is active. After these two commands, the task bar is hidden for the LiveCode application, the backdrop fills the screen and the task bar reappears when switching to other applications. Functionality that is partially functional, due to the lack of operating system support and works sufficiently well for restricted applications is as follows: If the task bar is visible before showing the backdrop, the backdrop occupies the 'working rect' of the screen, or almost the working rect of the screen if the task bar is set to auto-hide. In the latter case, a small gap is left at the bottom of the backdrop to ensure the task bar can still pop up when the mouse is moved to the edge of the screen. The task bar can be hidden only on Windows systems. This command has no effect on Mac OS, OS X, or Unix systems. |
