Frequently asked questions
How do I start fullscreen mode?
Click the preview, the “Start fullscreen” button, or press the F key. Press Esc or double-click to exit.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Android and most desktop browsers use true fullscreen. On iPhone the color fills the browser window; add the page to your home screen for true fullscreen.
Can I change the color in fullscreen?
Yes. Move the mouse or tap the screen to show the color bar, or use the arrow keys.
Is a bright screen bad for my eyes?
Not with normal use. Lower the brightness for longer sessions and take regular breaks.
