Locus Map classic, full screen no longer works

tobser · October 05, 2022, 18:59:14

Hello everyone, yesterday I updated my locus map classic to the latest version. Unfortunately, the tab for full-screen display is missing here in the settings, so that I always have a bar with the Android stuff at the top and bottom. But I would like to use the whole screen again. it would be great if you could submit it later. Greetings from Tobi

Well, then I want to go back to the previous version. Where can I get the previous version and how can I get back? I didn't notice any limitations in functionality at all. Maybe you want to drive the user to the expensive version 4 here.

Half a beer per month you call expensive?
Re. full screen: same behaviour for both versions.

Hi @tobser, guys,
I won't repeat the nice explanation of Marek in the main version thread.

So just
- we were thinking about this a lot and full-screen was always a big pain for me since the beginning. This is a robust 100% working solution on all devices that also follow UX recommendations.
- to downgrade, we have active & archived versions here: http://bit.ly/lmVersions
- the system is now identical in both Locus Classic and Locus Map (4) versions so it is not any push to the new paid version, it is not our style!
- I just tried this app from the Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.full.imm and it seems to work and really hide status & navigations bars just in the Locus Map

Tasker has a command "Immersive Mode", but as for the top status bar, only the text disappears, the grey area stays.
Can't say anything about the bottom bar with home button etc., I use gesture control, so no bar here anyway.

I am also missing the full screen mode very much.
But if the Locus team don't want to bring the feature back: what's about making status and navigation bars both fully transparent, instead of showing them in dark grey and nearly intransparent?
Feature request!
