» Taking over the screen

Overview

RISC OS provides a wonderful user experience if an application adheres to the guidelines within the RISC OS Style Guide.

However, should an application feel the need to take over the entire screen, then this can be easily achieved by opening a window the size of the screen on top of all other windows and removing the window system area.

A full description section about Taking over the screen? is available in the RISC OS Style Guide.
