Maybe like a "full screen" mode that hides all the buttons and extras? |

I’ve been able to click and drag the cams to position them as desired in the web ui and that positioning seems to remain from session to session, even if it didn’t, it only takes seconds to click and drag - thrills the hell out of me! MAYBE try to click, hold and drag to arrange. Not sure what the default setting is but my 2 column layout IS retained. If you are asking for a feature to resize each feed, then I’ve not yet seen that. I find @mrlt8 has been extraordinarily responsive when his time allows. |

Thanks but I should have specified... I already knew about the clicking & dragging to re-order windows after start-up. What I meant to request was actually the ability to pre-configure the camera-streams order & number of columns. You're fortunate if you prefer 2 columns as that is the default. On my monitor I'd prefer 3 but it keeps changing back into two. The resizing seems somewhat automated & tied to the number of columns. Anyways it was just a request. IMO the re-ordering manually after bringing up the web-page "each-time" kinda sucks. The user should be able to determine the order before-hand. Didn't mean to complain so much, sorry. I'm just hoping it can be implemented. |

@cheme75 Where are you clicking and dragging? What browser are you using? -- Never mind - I found it. That was not obvious. It is only on the title bar area of each camera to the right of the name and before the details settings button. Your cursor turns into a move cursor. Nice tip. It does seem to be locally cached but not remember across browsers or after full close and refresh. |

I typically use Firefox & can re-order the camera windows By moving the mouse pointer to somewhere around the middle of the windows' title-bar & the right-most corner... Click & holding then dragging the stream elsewhere & releasing... However if I exit the browser completely & relaunch all changes are lost it reverts back to two columns with the original order (of which I don't like). |

Generally use Firefox and it has kept my order of location but I’ve not tried closing browser and re-opening to test retention, only leaving page, returning or minimizing browser and reopening. Now you mention, using it in safari on iPad I do recall reordering the windows. Maybe he can set a cookie to retain position info. Wasn’t sure on columns, only got 4 cams/d bells so the 2 columns looks good. I tried 3-4 but 2 looked better. Wasn’t sure if it was default. I bet he can a retention options that reads the cookie settings or some other newer method. |

Pushed some changes to the dev branch that should allow switching to a more basic kiosk/fullscreen view. Let me know what you guys think! @capncybo changes to the web-ui should get saved to a cookie so I'm not sure why they keep getting reset for you. I did add an option to make changes via query parameters, so you should be able to bookmark your setting e.g. |

@mrlt8 Thank you ever so-much, sorry I was outta-town & missed the chance to test. However I just noticed it's already made it into the latest version so... thanks again & well-done! |

@mrlt8 IMO it's very close to perfect, but what would REALLY be awesome is... |

hmm... multiple queries seem to be working for me on macOS (safari, chrome, firefox). Can you post your browser and the exact url you're trying to use? |

@mrlt8 Thanks for the additional example. (Please notice in my two examples above, I was using multiple "?") |

My favorite new feature is the Web-UI. But I have one request that would truly make it my most used feature. A lite mode. Or in other words a mode where it was nothing but the camera images with very little to no border.
I currently run a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Android of Things running on it so that I can run TinyCam and show my 4 main cameras on screen at once. I would love to simplify and just run Raspbian and the Web-UI. But the camera images are too far apart to work as desired.
Anyway - just a thought. Keep up the good work. This has been an amazing project that has changed how I use my cameras.
