Kabikaboo

Darkroom Mode

Registered by aidave on 2009-10-29

The user could take the current tab page and fill the screen with it.
Hide the menu, tree, toolbar, tabs, status bar, etc.
Flip the background to black and text to white/green.

Maybe a keypress like F8 to jump in and out of dark mode.

I personally wouldnt use this because I dont write inside Kabikaboo, I just use it for notes.
However some other people may want this feature.

Whiteboard

Could possibly be a new window.
Would be easier than hacking into the main window.
Would tie into detachable nodes.

Have added to revision 153, using F8 as shortcut.

Try using these GTK Themes with the darkroom:
- Black Marble By Archive
- http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/379
- Yattacier 3 By Archive
- http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/598

I have code in for 1.8 for a very simple darkroom. I love it on my little netbook.

i've added some margin settings that will appear in ~/.kabikaboo/settings.txt:
For now these are only editable by hand, no GUI yet.

[kabikaboo-margins]
darkroom_border_width = 24
darkroom_margin_right = 24
darkroom_margin_left = 24
text_margin_right = 8
text_margin_left = 8
text_pixels_inside_wrap = 4
text_pixels_above_lines = 8
text_pixels_below_lines = 8
text_border_width = 10

And some shortcuts (only work in darkscreen mode):
F8: darkroom on/off
Esc: gets out of darkroom/fullscreen
Ctrl+N: show tabs and title
Ctrl+T: show tree
Ctrl+S: save current file

(?)
