Description Sayantan Datta 2013-09-23 08:53:54 UTC
Okular full screen mode hides the plasma panels. Can a reading mode be added? Which would hide the menus temporarily, make the canvas size bigger, but not hide the plasma panel on the desktop. 

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
No reading mode till now.

Expected Results:  
A reading mode, along with presentation mode and full screen mode.

This sounds relatively easy to implement, but I doubt Okular developers have time to look at it. Might be a good start for someone to learn about actions, menus, and KDE windows.

Marking as a junior job.

Hi Christoph,

As you say it's relatively easy, may I go for it? I have never developed in
okular, I can give it a try. :)

Thanks Sayantan, nice to know you would like to work on it.

Was not really expecting reaction so fast, looks like we need more new junior jobs :)

I guess you should wait a bit, until Okular maintainers confirm they would indeed add the feature, once a good patch is available.

Nevertheless, you are invited to start reading around in Okular source code, and ask questions on kde-devel or okular-devel mailing lists.

D'oh! I just noticed that you are the reporter, no wonder the reaction was so fast...

What would do that mode do that is not already available today by hiding all the elements of the view that you don't like?

The answer is "one-click tool" I guess. I'm kinda implemented it, would be this functional accepted? If yes, I will start reading commit and formatting rules to prepare a commit.

Hi,

I have submitted a merge request:

Let's see if it gets merged.

Hi Sanchit, I'm very much looking forward to experience your new "focus mode" feature in Okular real soon. Thanks for your work on this feature! :)
