Fullscreen support

[zcbenz]

Two things on fullscreen we should support:

• Add an API to make the whole app fullscreen chromeless
• Support the HTML5 fullscreen API

[rrichardson]

I think a more general window attributes API would be very beneficial. For instance. I need to be able to minimize/close into the system tray rather than to the task bar. To be able to modify the window attributes to adjust the window border and to indicate that shutdown is not an option would be good as well.

@rrichardson Appjs does something like this. They add widow.frame to make a bunch of window options available.

Does this also include full screen video support? Because now if you use HTML5 video within node-webkit you're unable to make it fullscreen

[zcbenz]

There three type of full screens:

• Fullscreen the app window
• Fullscreen HTML5 video
• The HTML5 fullscreen API, eg fullscreen part of the page

All of them will be supported.

Sweet!
Emission of an event like WasResized / DidEnterFullscreen / DidExitFullscreen would help us respond...
Cant wait to see what you come up with.

Is there a any progress on this issue especially fullscreen html5 video ?

[jmhmd]

I too would love to see the HTML5 API implemented. My app runs beautifully on node-webkit, but fullscreening a portion of it is a major feature that's currently only available on the web-based version. Can't wait to have this available on the desktop!

[jmhmd]

Also, if HTML5 fullscreen API is not supported, it should at least report document.webkitFullscreenEnabled as false, so that I can accurately hide fullscreen controls when in node-webkit. Right now it reports as true, but calling element.webkitRequestFullScreen() does nothing.

Any progress on HTML5 fullscreen support? Would love to have full screen support for my HTML5 videos.

[AlexPoint]

We're also interested in this fullscreen support. Do you have any idea of when it's gonna be implemented?
Thanks!

I would also totally love to be able to run fullscreen videos in nw. And a million thanks for the awesome work!

[schme16]

This has been open for quite a while, is there any particular hold up?

Love to see HTML5 fullscreen API support too!

It would be awesome to have chromeless full screen support for apps. Like the kiosk mode in Chromium or the Full Screen mode by pressing F11.

@Carlos487 That's https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Window#windowenterfullscreen I guess.

[Carlos487]

Awesome @Mithgol I will check it out. Thanks

Hi guys,

I am trying to run video with html5 video tag in node-webkit version 0.9.2 with the help of video.js library.

So before playing the video , I want it to open it in full screen. but right now its playing video nicely but not going into full screen , actually I tried with "video.webkitRequestFullscreen" but nothing happened :(.

so does it mean , as of now we can not use the full screen functionality in node-webkit?
could any one confirm it? I need to update my manager accordingly. Please do the needful :).

Thanks!

@neilmalgaonkar You should probably try node-webkit's API instead of WebKit's.

Try this: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Window#windowenterfullscreen

[neilmalgaonkar]

Thanks @Mithgol.
actually i tried with fullscreen option from manifest https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Manifest-format#fullscreen , but it was putting the whole app in fullscreen on my mac when it starts, but i will try with node-webkits fullscreen api. can it be use as fullscreen option we see in youtube site?

[yeco]

I'm also looking for fullscreen certain elements rather than the whole app. Any workaround?

In the meantime I've solved my issue with some css and toggleFullscreen, but it doesn't seem too elegant.

[Mithgol]

HTML5 fullscreen API is not supported and that's why this issue is still open.
