Since this would involve the GUI side only really, it should be
implemented as a plugin. One thing I'm planning on adding is a 'pd-
gui' receive, like the 'pd' receive, so you can send messages to the
GUI from pd. That is currently the only missing piece for
implementing this.
Like was said before, it won't be hard to implement in Tcl, post any
questions here and we can help get it working.

Is it possible to make these messages that can be sent to a canvas?
That's already the
way one changes settings of a canvas (editmode, clear,
donecanvasdialog, etc.)
Also, that way you
could have a patch my-kiosk-thingy.pd, and when you open it you
could have all kinds of
initialization settings, and a subpatch [pd gui]. When you get all
the init values set you
can send [fullscreen 1( -- [s pd-gui] . Then you don't need to make
a new object [gui].

i think it's probably better to do this via a msg
so basically there would be commands like:
gui-hide-menu
gui-hide-scrollbar
gui-hide- ...
gui-canvas-fullscreen
gui-hide-decortion
so basically you can put this into a subpatch and loadbang whichever
one
you need ;)
may it's better to implement this via gui object which you would send
msgs to ..
[hide-canvas(

[gui]
or we do this kind of stylie: [; pd-gui command(
?
i'm not sure which way is more practical ..
