Remove menu bar and right click menu in 0.8.6i

[astro_travellin]

Hi, i'm new here and was wondering how to remove the menu bar and also the right click menu in VLC. I have attached images to show exactly what I am talking about. I have searched through the forums but found some old topics that I don't think work with the newer version. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I will add option to remove right click stuff. But I think you can't remove the menu bar. But you can separate video and controls.

Any change anyone would be intrested in implementing the patch mentioned above into the latest build of VLC? I'm just finsihing an animation course and am helping prepare the graduation exhibition. We are using 10 computers from the college as video koisks playing dvd's and allowing exhibition visitors to navigate the dvds with a mouse to view our work. VLC is being used for video playback partly because it is one of the only players that will run without needing administrator privilages to be installed. It would be extreaaaamly useful if we could play these dvds fullscreen in such a way that fullscreen could not be escaped without using a keybaord thus stopping vitors from escaping to the desktop. The above version of VLC is ideal, however it won't play the DVDs properly (dvd menus malfunction). The DVDs play prefectly in vlc 0.9.9. and if the fullscreen locking patch could be added to this it would be our perfect solution.

I don't have the time to set up a compiling evironment for doing this myself, need to be done within a week. If someone would be interested in doing this for me I could pay about €10 or the equivilant in any currency. I'd reckon this would be useful for anyone setting up koisks playing dvd's and not just me.

Thanks!

I think VLC 1.0.0 has it on linux, I could check on windows.

I've tried VLC 1.0.0-rc1 on windows, and it doesn't support this feature. Unfortunatly loading linux on the machines is not an option ;/.

AFAIK nobody merged them.

[myutwo33]

yes, That's the patch i was refering to. Stupidly I posted my original reply in the wrong thread, I thought this was the one with a link to that patch.

would anyone be interested in merging this patch with the latest stable build? Again i could offer €10 or equivilant for the work, but i would hope the work would be useful for others besides myself.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I'll have a look.

[myutwo33]

cool, thanks.

[myutwo33]

can i presume no one is interested in pursuing this?
