Screen Description

The style, layout, and menu editing of the standard framework can be done from the system settings screen. The system settings screen can be displayed from the client screen of the standard project generated by the standard framework. Therefore, to display the system settings screen, both Panel Server and Panel Browser must be running online.

The system settings screen is broadly divided into three tabs: "Device Settings," "Style Settings," and "User Management."

■Device settings tab/General

frame_036

The initial browser settings will take effect the next time you start the browser.

Menu position settings take effect immediately.

Full Screen	Display the browser in full screen mode. This setting will make the browser full screen and hide the system menu.
Maximum display	Displays the browser in maximum size. Unlike full screen display, this displays the browser in the same state as when you maximize it using the maximize button on the title bar.

Specifies the normal display width (the width of the entire browser application) in pixels.

The sizes specified for "Screen width" and "Screen height" must be greater than the settings for "Minimum width" and "Minimum height".

Title Bar

If disabled, the browser title bar itself will be hidden.

When using normal display with the title bar hidden, depending on the version of Windows, a margin like the one shown below may appear above the screen title. However, if you set the browser size in the above settings to "full screen" or "maximized", this margin will not appear.
