How do I create an ebook in kiosk mode?

Publications and ebooks made with HTML Executable easily support the famous kiosk mode function. When a browser runs in kiosk mode, the window is maximized and there is no title bar.

imgTo simulate a kiosk mode, go to Publication Settings / Application Settings

In the Main Window tab, turn the following options on:

  1. Display a maximized window (in state of the main window).

  2. Maximize on Full Screen (hides task bar)

In the Skin Properties tab, turn the following options on:

  1. Create a window with no title bar
  2. Hide Caption Buttons

If you want to remove the menu bar too, go to Publication Settings / User Interface, choose Menu Bar and uncheck the Visible property.

img Warning: you should inform end users that they can still close your program by pressing ALT+F4.

NB: there is no way to disable the kiosk mode: if the publication starts in kiosk mode, it will always remain in that state.
