Hello,

In SiteKiosk there are no browser tabs available. Please make sure you started the SiteKiosk Browser correctly.

Here more information about the starting modes:
http://www.provisio.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Help/en-US/default.htm?select_starting_mode.htm

Here you will find a quick setup guide:
http://www.provisio.com/Download/brochures/sitekiosk_quick_setup_guide.pdf

The Skin appearance can be changed in the SIteKiosk configuration at "-->Start Page & Browser-->Customized" and "Start Page & Browser-->Advanced".

Michael,

working with "permanent full screen mode", with default skin, the pages from different domains are opened in new windows or tabs.

This new windows/tabs shows the browser status bar at bottom of it.

Hello,

The status bar at the bottom is part of the most skins provided with SiteKiosk.
In this case you may check using the “Fullscreen Skin” (Available at “-->Start Page & Browser”).

Michael,

Please note that we are not talking about the taskbar but the status bar, which shows the url to which you are connecting.

Hello,

That the status bar is displayed in Fullscreen mode is a dedicated behavior. It will display the web page in full screen but displays the status bar of the underlying skin.

Therefore you can use the Fullscreen skin instead of the Fullscreen Mode.
The Fullscreen skin does not have any skin elements or status bar in the main window.

If you also want to have this in new windows you can edit the file “tonlinefsSkindef.xml” at “…\SiteKiosk\Skins\t-online_fs”.
Search for the line 

<source>skins\IESkin\MainWnd.htm</source>


And change it to 

<source>skins\t-online_fs\MainWnd.htm</source>


Then you have new windows with no skin elements (using the fullscreen skin).

Alternatively you can/need to customize the skin files of the skin you are using.
e.g. when using the IE7 Skin the file “MainWnd.html” at “…\SiteKiosk\Skins\IE7” contains the code for displaying the status/progress bar at the bottom.
