Full screen Mac OS X browser

geez, I have tried MSIE, Chimera, Mozilla, Opera, OmniWeb and iCab and none of them seems to support a full screen mode. How lame is that?! Aaargh. I want to use powerbook+html for presentation foo, but apparently not in a cool way.

hmn, but it does do the trick on linux. (pondering trying to install galeon via fink).

Try AxPoint instead. It should be pretty easy to convert a HTML presentation to AxPoint format.

actually, the source is in .pod. I made a new Pod::POM view to output html that is good for slides. A CSS is making neat boxes and formatting.

AxPoint looks nice, except that typing all that XML cruft will make me forget what I am trying to say. ;-) If I get time I will try to convert my pod for my OSCON talk into axpoint format. The current need is for this Monday, so trying out new tools is not really an option.

Actually if you gave me some idea of the kind of style the POD is in, I could consider how a Pod::SAX filter for converting to AxPoint format would look. That could be a very useful thing indeed!

I am just using Mozilla (with makeslides-generated slides) and manually (*gasp!*) resizing the browser to fill most of the screen. I don't think it will be exceptionally distracting to anyone.

Yes, full-screen mode would be nice, but I don't see it as a show-stopper. I see proper handling of CSS, Link navigation, etc. as much more important.

I used it earlier today and just made the mozilla window as big as it could get. The menu bar and the mozilla title bar wasn't really distracting at all.

I used Pod::POM for my slides (did I already mention that?) with a bunch of CSS. It worked pretty nicely.
