Fullscreen presentation mode... online?
I was wondering, is it capable for SCRATCH to implement a feature for projects to be viewed in full-screen presentation mode while online? I understand that I could always just download the project, but downloading a project can be time consuming.
Additionally, I think that full-screen mode would allow for a better playing and viewing experience when viewing projects online. Me having bad eyesight, it's a bit of a pain to have to view projects on a tiny stage: I would much prefer to view projects online and then decide whether or not to download them, instead of having to download projects each and every time.
Unless, of course, Java isn't capable of something of the sort. But it wouldn't hurt to suggest this idea.

It's a good suggestion...I believe it came up previously. I think there were Java issues with a larger display. It would be nice though.

Re: Fullscreen presentation mode... online?
One thing I noticed in the "Embed" feature is that it sets the size.
Applet:
<applet id='ProjectApplet' style='display:block' code='ScratchApplet' codebase='http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc' archive='ScratchApplet.jar' height='387' width='482'><param name='project' value='../../static/projects/Magnie/502792.sb'></applet>
height='387' width='482' Height and Width.. Set right there.

width='425' height='319' Width and Height right there...

Magnie, true, but changing those numbers has no effect on the online project.
I sure wish that the online player could be resized. Even something as simple as fixed as 1x and 2x normal size would be awesome.
