Fullscreen pass

I have a question,

Could someone suggest a method to firstly hide the little return arrow in scratch's fullscreen mode, stop escape from closing fullscreen and create a block that opens and closes full screen for you?

I know it's a little ambitious, but I'm making a calander with notes, dates, events alarms and suchlike for my kitchen and would like there to be a password for accessing the scripting. A compiler won't do here because the calander has a hacked "save feature" that'll let it store a new date and save it to the PC without having to do it yourself and this does not work in the compiler.

Many thanks, suggestions are appreciated.

EDIT: I'm basically getting a small, low power PC and getting it to automatically load Scratch (with windows in background) so I essentially have a computer that runs JUST the calander... like the self check outs in supermarkets

Re: Fullscreen pass

Um... hold on ...

...

You do know you have to restart if you forget the password, right?

...

enter would be

Code:

enterPresMode
|t1|
t1 := self ownerThatIsA: ScratchFrameMorph.
t1 enterPresentationMode

and exit would be

Code:

exitPresMode
|t1|
t1 := self ownerThatIsA: ScratchFrameMorph.
t1 exitPresentationMode

blockSpecs are

Code:

('enter presentation mode' #- #enterPresMode) ('exit presentation mode' #- #exitPresMode)

Disable exit button: delete

Code:

(#presentationExit #exitPresentation 'Exit presentation')

from ScratchPresenterMorph's (in Scratch-UI-Panes) initialization method initialize.

Escape doesn't work anyway for me >.>

Re: Fullscreen pass

create a shortcut to the file you want to run right off and put the shortcut into the startup folder (this is Windows XP I'm on about here) drag it start> all programs> startup and drop it in there.

Re: Fullscreen pass

Enter only works once, and exit doesn't work.
