I have seen a few posts on this, but it is not clear to me how to achieve it, if at all.
Is there a tried and true method for getting the slideshow to work fullscreen (like the Flickr one, for example)? If so, is it easy to explain? Using Flash is required, I'm sure, but simply turning that on in plug-ins doesn't seem to do it.
Thanks!
Figured it out. Have to do it in the options for the plug-in in the Admin interface. Not the most customizable deal, from what I can ascertain, however.
Does anybody know if it is possible to limit the size of photos to their original size? They look terrible when they get scaled up.
Also would be great if you could force it to full screen from the beginning since it's kind of a pain to get there for the user.

The slideshow has to modes, jQuery which is pure js and FLash. Full screen is not possible with js, so you need to use the flash player. Not our fault.

Options -> Image display -> allow upscale

Flowplayer that is used for the flash slideshow does not have the option to do that as far as I know. If you find out that it does, let me know. Also consider that full screen may not be possible for all your visitors or may be slow on older computers.
Thanks, Acrylian! All good tips.
Fortunately, the audience for my current gallery is so small that I'm not worried about catering to the masses, but for larger consumption, your full screen comment is certainly a good one.
