Description Elias Volanakis CLA 2007-11-13 13:09:41 EST
Augmenting the RAP PDE-Templates to include an checkbox for "[ ] Fullscreen Application". Checking this would make the workbench window take the whole screen by using SWT.NO_TRIM and shell.setMaximized( true ) on the window's shell.

See this url for background info:

Credits go to Chris Aniszczyk for suggesting this.

I can provide a patch that does this, but we should agree first:
- if this is desirable (IMHO yes)
- on which templates it should be available

Elias.

This is a good candidate for bugday.
But i don't think that we should only show NO_TRIM and maxmized use but also things done in eclipsediscovery.org to turn the coolbar into a "banner". Any other suggestions?
Comment 2 Elias Volanakis CLA 2007-11-26 14:23:47 EST
In reply to #1: If I recall correctly adding the "banner" was rather nasty, so I would rather propose *not* to have it in the template, as it might confuse new users. For reference I think it was something along these lines:

The Mail Demo template now uses the business design (bug 288727), which is the preferred way to create a fullscreen application today.
Please reopen if you think another template is needed.
