Hiding the status window

Normally, a status window is shown at the bottom of the Kiosk window. You can hide the status window to provide more space for the display of controls.

Tip: If you are running Kiosk with the status window hidden and an error occurs, a Command Prompt window will be displayed showing the error. If you want to prevent the window from being displayed, see Hiding the Command Prompt window.

To hide the status window

  1. Browse to C:\Program Files\MediaMatrix\NWare [version]\plugins\nware\xml, and then edit the file kiosk_windows.xml.

    The window blocks in this file control the display of the frames in the Kiosk window.

  2. Add comment symbols (<!-- and -->) to deactivate all the window blocks apart from the following section:

    <windows>

    <window class="app::frame_t" title="NWare : Kiosk" not_menu_xml="plugins/nware/xml/kiosk_menu.xml" id="main_frame" icon="plugins/nware/icons/n-ware.ico">

    <window class="win::main_container_t" id="page_container" />

    </window>

    </windows>

  3. Save the file.
