Description Jun Nogata 2020-05-08 07:53:54 UTC 
Description:
In video conference system presentations, the full screen mode makes screen sharing very difficult. in a window mode is easy to share the screen, but the menu/Tool/Side/Status bar is displayed and it doesn't look good.

I want Menu/Tool/Side/Status bar to be hidden in a window mode in the slideshow.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the Impress.
2. Menu bar: Slide show > Slide Show Settings...
3. Select Presentation Mode: "In a window"
4. Start Presentation.(Push F5 key or Select: Slide show > Start from First Slide

Actual Results:
A slideshow runs in the window, but Menu/Tool/Side/Status bar is still visible.

Expected Results:
Menu/Tool/Side/Status bar is hidden.


Reproducible: Always

Reasonable enhancement, the use case is pretty clear. That is when using LO for collaborative review of slide show during a shared desktop / shared window presentation.  The current slide show modes exposing other UI elements can be distracting--helpful if they can be suppressed for the share.

Believe this could be implemented either as a read-only Impress "View" mode (similar to Print preview other modules), or as a 'Slide Show settings...' -> 'Presentation mode'--perhaps linked to the 'Window' mode but with additional Options to suppress all UI elements but the slide canvas.

Perhaps treatment as a MUFFIN enhancement?

I don't see any benefit from showing the UI in a presentation. So my take is to hide menu and tool-/notebook-/sidebar by default. No more options please.

It may be possible to hide Toolbars, Status bar, and Sidebar when Presentation mode is "in a window".

Try turning off "View -> Toolbars", "View -> Status bar", and "View -> Sidebar", and setting it to "in a window".
