<div>In response to a user who needed this, I created the attached AppleScript that will fill the entire main display with the Isadora document window content -- i.e., the title bar is also not visible.</div>
<div>To open Isadora in "Kiosk Mode", use the script **_Run Isadora Full Screen.scpt_**</div>
<div>You must edit the AppleScript first, changing the DOCUMENT_PATH property to the name of the document you wish to launch. You may also edit the APP_PATH property to open a specific copy of Isadora on your machine, should you have more than one.</div>
<div>Normally the goal would be to launch into the Control Panel. So you'll need to save your document with the Control Panel active, and you'll want to ensure that the Scene List, Snapshots, and Toolbox are disabled in the View menu.</div>
<div>Take note that once you run this script, double-clicking the application you specified in the APP_PATH **will always launch without a menu bar!!**</div>
<div>To restore the menu bar to Isadora, run the script **_Run Isadora Normal.scpt_**</div>
<div>Enjoy!</div>
<div>M</div>

<p> I'm back at this problem again a few years down the line. I am exploring how to set up a kiosk-style interface for a high-profile installation. The control panel would work perfectly for this; especially with the new feature of V4.0.9, but I need full screen with no top bar - kiosk style and I don't currently know how to do this, or if it's possible at all. Any ideas/developments welcome. </p><p>In notch you can load a file into the command line and add "+windowed 1" after the file directory and it loads full screen. Something like this would be perfect.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56006</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/56006</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skulpture]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 16 Mar 2025 08:13:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Isadora Full Screen&#x2F;Kiosk Mode - Applescript for OS X on Mon, 02 Sep 2024 10:11:51 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/201">@timeg</a></p><p>Not specifically, but with the addition of Python to the program now, one could likely whip something up with that.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/54859</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/54859</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Woland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Sep 2024 10:11:51 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Isadora Full Screen&#x2F;Kiosk Mode - Applescript for OS X on Mon, 02 Sep 2024 01:39:57 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I am also wondering if there has been any further developments on this specifically on the Windows OS platform.</p><p>:-)~<br /></p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/54858</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/54858</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[timeg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Sep 2024 01:39:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Isadora Full Screen&#x2F;Kiosk Mode - Applescript for OS X on Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:03:29 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/4">@skulpture</a> said:</p>

<div>In the meantime I did find a different route for hiding the menu bar - adding a couple of lines to the info.plist file as described in [this article](http://www.macworld.com/article/1055321/hidemenubar.html) </div>
<div>This does have the advantage that the menu reappears when you move the cursor up there with a mouse, but will always be inaccessible on a touch screen. The downside is that it's still possible to minimise or close the window accidentally by touching the top left corner. </div>

<div>You need to have the full path to your file specified. Is the file at the "root" level, meaning on your main hard drive? (Where the "Applications" folder is?) If not, then you need the full path.</div>
