The Full Screen Preferences are used to control how the Full Screen Viewer behaves. The Full Screen viewer is displayed when you double-click on a thumbnail. The Full Screen Viewer cycles between all selected pictures (or all visible pictures if only one picture is selected).
Max. scaling factor %: This controls the maximum FotoAlbum will "stretch" a picture to try and fit the screen. This is only used when a picture is smaller than the screen and stretching may distort the look of the picture. 100% means no stretching will occur. The default is 200%.
Background color: The color displayed "behind" or around a picture.
Display Thumbnails: Whether the thumbnail bar is displayed by default. You can toggle the display of toolbar while viewing a picture full screen by using the <CTRL><T> shortcut.
Display captions: Whether the caption bar is displayed by default. You can also toggle the display of captions while in Full Screen mode by using the <CTRL><N> shortcut.
Display status bar: Controls whether the status bar is displayed. The status bar can also be toggled by using the <CTRL><Z> shortcut.
Slide show delay: The number of seconds to pause between pictures when you start the slide show.
Cycle slide show: If this is checked, the slide show will run continuously (loop around). Otherwise it stops when it reaches the last picture.
Use Transitions: If this is checked, then the screen saver will use the chosen transition effect between each picture.
Effect: This controls which transition effect is used between pictures.
Delay: The amount of time the transition will take (0=fastest transition, 10=slowest transition).
Dissolve Prior Image: If checked, the prior image will "dissolve" away before the transition starts. The time required for the dissolve is in addition to the transition effect time.
Display Loading..: This controls whether FotoAlbum displays a little message "Loading.." on the screen whenever an image is being loaded.
Display videos using Media Player: If this is checked, then when you double-click on a video, the default application will be launched to display the video (usually Microsoft Media Player). Based upon the type of video and the setup of your system, different programs can be launched. Certain videos with custom CODECS may require this option in order to play correctly.
