Remove Menu Bar and Title Bar from Qt Simulator
If you are developing a full-screen application you might want to remove the menu bar at the bottom and the title bar at the top of the Symbian Simulator. Here is how:
- Go to “C:\QtSDK\Simulator\Application\models” (or equivalent) and copy the (e.g.) “symbian3” folder to a new folder we’ll call “symbian3fullscreen”.
- Inside the “symbian3fullscreen” folder, open “N8_portrait.png” in Gimp, select all (<CTRL-A>) and delete (<DEL>), so that you have a transparent png of 360×640. Save, and do the same for “N8_landscape.png”.
- rename symbian3.config to symbian3fullscreen.config and edit it to:
- name:Symbian^3 Fullscreen
- resolutionWidth:360
- resolutionHeight:640
- diagonalInInch:3.5
- mockup:N8.png
- offsetX:66
- offsetY:153
- defaultFontSize:7
- style:s60,nseriesblack
- menuImage:topUp,N8_portrait.png
- availableGeometry:topUp,0,0,360,640
- menuImage:rightUp,N8_landscape.png
- availableGeometry:rightUp,0,0,640,360
- symbianSoftKeyButton:topUp,0,0,640,180,60
- symbianSoftKeyButton:topUp,0,180,640,180,60
- symbianSoftKeyButton:rightUp,0,0,360,212,44
- symbianSoftKeyButton:rightUp,0,427,360,212,44
Restart the simulator.
Now, you have an additional device called “Symbian^3 Fullscreen” where your app is shown fullscreen.
On MacOS X you can find the models inside the simulator.app application package. That is you’d like to copy the symbian3fullscreen directory to <QtSDK folder>/Simulator/Application/simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/models
In order to “open” the simulator.app package, you right-click it in the Finder and choose the “Show Package Contents” option. After it, you can work with the package as with any other folder in your file system.
