[Bug 241729] New: provide way to fade out UI for judging image with less distracting surroundings

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241729

           Summary: provide way to fade out UI for judging image with less
                    distracting surroundings
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux

Even with a dark grey theme the UI sometimes makes concentrating on the image a
bit difficult. Full screen view is an option (though a menu bar is still there
then), but tools can not be used in that view.

How about an option to darken the UI by keyboard shortcut with three steps: 1.
normal 2. dark, but only just visible, making it still possible to use sliders,
curves etc 3. completely blacken everything but image

It would be best if all the screen would be covered by that, though that may be
a bit difficult.

I think that feature would be useful for image editor as well as album and
light table.

I saw the feature in LR3 and it was one of the few things I really liked.

Reproducible: Didn't try

There is a wish for sidepanels being shown when digiKam or showFoto (image
editor) is set as fullscreen so user can use tools. The menubar can be hided
with Ctrl+M even then. And there are ideas to get it hided without compromising
the tools usage.

And then there is a wish for shortcut what would hide both sidepanels (or just
one per time) so user gets only the photo. It would be similar to GIMP
TAB-shortcut.

I do not think this can be solved via themes, as these would affect neither
icons nor window decoration nor panel.

There was once a plugin for a compositing window manager (compiz maybe) which
darkened all but the current window as a "concentration aid". If the image
could be placed on a borderless palette-like "window" (not acting like a
window, just to tell the window manager which part not to darken), the effect
itself could be done by kwin etc.

Sound like this wish depend fully of windows manager rules, not an application
like digiKam.

sounds like an in-application feature to me and nothing the window manager
could reasonably do -> back to digikam.

If you want to improve readability of photos, just use a dark color theme to
increase contrast around image. This is what all other pro photo-management
program do.
