Try this...
Code
Click <a href='asfunction:_root.togglefullscreenfunc'>here</a> to open gallery in full screen.
FYI... This is taken directly from the demo you get from the download.

Full Screen Performance...

... and since the subject of full screen is fresh and taking up a spot, I've been meaning to ask about this..

I've noticed a significant change in speed/performance of a slide show running in full screen mode vs normal mode. And I mean very drastic difference. Can someone explain what's taking place, where the bottleneck is, if there is something to remedy the situation, etc? Is it on the local (display) machine, server, or what? Menus, thumbnails, everything is slow.

You mean everything is slower in fullscreen? I haven ´t noticed that, and in fact I thought perhaps it seemed faster(although that ´s probably incorrect). Perhaps you have an example gallery?

The only reason it might be slower, is because the stage covers a larger screen estate. This means your images will be bigger, and transitions will require more CPU(between larger images). The bottleneck is therefore the client machine, and the CPU and general system speed.

I don ´t see how the menu can be much slower in fullscreen though, and I would think minimal impact on thumbnails. It could also be an issue if there is animations in your background - Is there?

Hmm...

Okay, well, glad I asked. It sounds like it's my laptop getting bogged down.

It happens with almost any site that I've tried including ... https://www.photo.gallery/soda/index_exa ... ent/start/

Thanks.

yup, well I got a new macbook here, so I don ´t see any speed issues in any state. But it ´s as stated in my last post though, it ´s related to client processing speed ... Some features, especially transitions, will lag because the images are often larger. It shouldn ´t have a drastic effect on menu or thumbnails though.
