Tablet Mode

Revu will recognize when a user is on a touch-screen tablet PC and automatically default to "Tablet Mode," a specially designed profile with the following characteristics:

Operates in a modified version of Full Screen Mode in order to maximize the viewable area for the user while maintaining access to the functionality of the Command bar.
- By default, the Command Bar icons will be hidden. Their functions can be accessed through the Menu Bar along the top, which will temporarily reveal the related icons, but if you prefer to have them shown permanently, click in the arrow in the upper-right corner.
Enables the Use Large Icons setting in General Preferences is automatically. This will cause most of the icons in the interface to be larger, making them easier for the user to target when tapping the screen. This option can be turned off, if desired.
- Some interface objects are not affected by the Use Large Icons setting and will be enlarged whether it is turned on or off, including the icons on the Command bar and the nubs used to open and close panels.
Opens the Full Screen toolbar, a configurable, floating toolbar with tools that are commonly accessed by touch-screen tablet users.
Recognizes when a stylus is used, automatically configuring touch input to target, pan, zoom and selection while stylus input handles all other tools. When a stylus is not detected, touch input targets all functionality. This option can be changed so touch input targets all functionality regardless of the presence of a stylus.
Employs specialized Shift and Escape icons to simulate the use of the SHIFT and ESC keys when a keyboard is not available.

Note: It might be necessary to enable one or both of these icons on the Full Screen toolbar. See Customizing Toolbars for more information.

To exit Tablet Mode, tap the Full Screen button at the bottom of the floating toolbar.
