[Tiki-devel] Questions about Fullscreen view

[Gary Cunningham-L. <ga...@cu...>]

Hi,

I have a few questions about the newly restored Fullscreen:

1. With full-screen view on, the page tag gets a CSS class (in 
tiki_base.css) to make the background white. Apparently the idea is to 
have a simple and clear black on white page. But the light-on-dark 
themes have a contrast problem (unless they're edited to get a 
correction) because they have white or other light-color text. So I'm 
wondering if the special background color for this view is really needed 
or if it'd be ok (or even better) to use the theme color palette. One 
thought is that some themes may have a color combination for readability 
that's actually better than the severe black on white. Of course such a 
theme can override the default full-screen colors, but, again, why not 
use the theme colors rather than replace them in Fullview, as they were 
chosen for usability (we hope)?

2. I'd like to position the icon absolutely in order to prevent it 
causing a 20px high div across the page, which has a bad effect in a 
number of themes. So with absolute positioning it'll overlap the top 
left corner of the page header, etc. and not affect the page content's 
position. I'll do this unless there are reasons why it shouldn't be done.

3. Should the full-screen icon appear in all display sizes? At first I 
thought maybe it isn't needed in small displays, since the side columns 
are already moved down out of the viewport. Also I was concerned about 
the icon overlapping the site brand/logo hotspot. But then maybe being 
able to go to full-screen mode is good in small devices so you can get 
rid of the navbar also. Opinions?

Thanks for any feedback.
