Hi all,

sometimes I need to use pcb-rnd on small screen. Most functionality are 
accessible from keyboard shortcuts, still a lot of screen estate is spent 
on widgets around the drawing area.

To overcome this issue, I implemented a so called "full screen mode" 
configuration item in trunk/ this morning:

- in full screen mode the gtk HID shows only the editor area with 
scrollbars: http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/fullscreen.png

- with the default menu config fullscreen can be toggled using the 
backslash (\) key

- there's also a menu item in the view menu (most useful in tear-down)

- added a shorthand action called fullscreen()

- as it is a conf item, all conf item features are automatically granted: 
default setting from system/user/project config, can be saved with the 
design, can be specified from the CLI, etc.

(The feature is not implemented in the lesstif HID - it's only mode is 
sort of fullscreen already.)

Regards,

Igor2
