I've always thought xTalk systems are perfect for slide shows. What 
kind of smarts do you want it to have? Will it run on a projection 
system?

I don't see why not.

How about "hide menubar" In Mac OSX, it should hide the dock too.

I haven't experimented lately, but I was thinking that since the screen 
is drawn from the topleft, you could increase resolution to the next 
step, but limit the show monitor or projection system to a step lower. 
This would hopefully give you some space on the bottom and right sides 
of the control monitor for controls which will be offscreen on the show 
system, maybe even a field (or other scrolling system) with thumbnail 
selection, so you can scroll and find what you want to display.

All the best,
Ken N.
