GoldenDict Forum

Hello,
First of all, thanks for the software, it's one of the only ones I know that were worth spending money on!

I only have one small request: I am using GoldenDict in a popup mode from CoolReader and I configured (the new version) to open the popup in a window and not in full screen. However, when I am using CoolReader, I'm using it in a full screen mode (no status bar) and when the GoldenDict window is opening, the status bar re-appears (and then disappears again when I close the window and return to the reader). Is it possible to either keep the behavior of the parent window (not show the status bar if it was not shown there), or even add a manual setting so that I can explicitly direct GoldenDict not show status bar when working in a window popup mode?

Thanks,
Leonid

Yeah, I'd like to join to this feature request. Seeing how status bar reappears and then disappears every time I look-up a word from Cool Reader gets annoying after a while (and takes time and CPU cycles too).

Basically, it would be nice to have full-screen mode in GoldenDict, optional.

Apparently, on my rooted Nook Simple Touch, the status bar does not appear when a GoldenDict floating window opens, but on my Galaxy Nexus with Stock Android 4.1, it appears (and then disappears again, when I return to CoolReader/AlReader).

Here's some code (in Activity) that works for me on 4.1.x and 2.3.6 devices and enables and disables full screen mode:

Code: Select all

    private void setFullScreen(boolean fullScreen) {
        WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
        if (fullScreen) {
            attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
        } else {
            attrs.flags &= (~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        }
        getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
    }

I'm looking forward for this feature to be implemented!

If anyone is interested, I managed to work around the problem by using Fullscreen+ (http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=417825) to hide the notification bar for GoldenDict. This means that even if I run GoldenDict from outside CoolReader/Alreader it will hide the notification bar, but as I only use it from within the reader software, it's good enough for me.
