Full Screen in MS Reader for PPC?

Is there a way to view MS Reader in Full Screen, as one can do on the PC version?

Doesn't the PC version just jump the same-size page to the middle of your screen and black everything else out? Hardly full screen.

If you use a better reader like µbook then full screen is automatic, along with a host of superior features. Won't load LIT files though, so you'd have to use CLIT to get the HTML out then ZIP the contents to save memory. Google will find that easily.

Yep, I also have ubook and mobireader installed. I prefer mobireader to ubook, but thanks for the tip.

What I meant by fullscreen was hiding all other programs and bars on the screen; I just can't get used to the colored bar across the top of the screen.

If you modified your device theme to have a top bar matching Reader's white, that'd at least halfway deal with it. No more words, but a white bar might look better. At funnysnake.com there's a free theme generator, which works well on my Axim.

Thanks Gerand, I'll give that a try.

It worked perfectly. I changed the nav bar and text color to white. The windows logo for the start menu is still visible, but that's not too bad.

Thanks again for the tip Gerand:approve:

Good, I'm glad it worked for you. That's a nice thought, turning the text up there white too. I mean, if I have a window open, do I really need to see the name of the program?

I have run GigaBar since the fall of 2000, and keep it a nice forest green. It displays all my running program's icons and enables quick jumps between them, as well as providing numerous gestural tap shortcuts on the handful of system monitor icons I keep there as well. Nice to have a 'system tray' at all times available... except when running fullscreen applications.
