[Xerte-dev] Re: Deprecate full screen?

[Ron Mitchell]

Yeah I think it is only when using background image. But obviously wide
screen spreads out text too. Probably is easiest just to deprecate but I
have often wondered about having the full screen option just fit to window
height not width and maintain the standard ratio. E.g. centered in the
browser window a bit like non-wide screen video.

The only place I can think of where images can get distorted is where they
are used as background images - is there somewhere else too?

 

Yes, deprecating would just mean removing as an option for new projects and
not breaking existing projects

Depends if there's a way to mimic the full screen option with the HTML 5
player? E.g. the reason that people sometimes preferred the full screen
rather than fill window option in the Flash player was to avoid distortion
of images etc and maintain the aspect ratio. We still get that distortion to
a certain extent with the HTML 5 playback so if there was a way to enable
Full Screen rather than Fill Window via HTML 5 too then it might be worth
keeping. Assuming also deprecating just means it won't be an option for new
projects but will still work for older Flash projects?

Looks like there was some discussion of this last year
(https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/339) but both
fill window & full screen are still there as options.

 

Is the consensus that full screen should go? Unless there's a reason anyone
can think of to keep it I'll deprecate it.
