Theater Mode

In Theater mode, the Player Controls appear as a toolbar at the bottom of the computer screen. A Video Screen tab in the upper-left corner of the screen shows the current screen size. The Video Screen appears in the center of the monitor with a black background. Both the Video Screen tab and the toolbar will automatically hide, reappearing when the cursor is moved. If the Media Browser is already open as a detached window when you change to Theater mode, it will become inactive and hidden from view. (To view the detached Media Browser, press ALT+TAB to make it the active window.)

Note: Using Theater mode does not change your desktop; it only hides the desktop while you watch the presentation. Related Info and Album Info are not available in this mode.
