Full Window Slideshow?

beardedgit

While the Full Screen Slideshow is a fine addition to New SM, there are times when it's a bit too much. For instance, on my large monitor in my observatory I might be running half a dozen astro-related programs in their own not-maximised windows, and SM in a window sized at, say, 1280 x 800, just to pass the time while imaging. If I hit the lightbox slideshow "play" arrow SM just takes over the whole screen, which isn't ideal if I'm trying to keep an eye on the other windows. To cope better with circumstances such as these, it would be useful to have an option for the lightbox slideshow to play in Full Window rather than the default Full Screen.

And the second oldest item on the bug list still isn't fixed!

The slideshow auto height doesn't consider the footer.

The auto height feature in the homepage slideshow auto sizes the slideshow to fit the screen even with subject mater above it.
But it doesn't account for the footer below it. This means the whole page doesn't fit on the screen and you also get a scroll bar.

Ideally you would get a homepage that sizes itself to the screen.

Cheers,
