Veejay Mode

Veejay mode is intended for live performances. It's similar to full-screen (again, the Whorld image fills the entire screen) but with an important difference: no other windows of any kind are allowed. Veejay mode "locks out" (disables) any feature or key that could cause Whorld, another application, or Windows itself to display a dialog, menu, or other window. Even the standard Windows task-switching keys are disabled, except Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This prevents accidental disruptions, e.g. showing the desktop, exiting the application, etc.

Veejay mode also eliminates tearing, provided DirectDraw and Exclusive mode are enabled in the DirectDraw options.

To enter Veejay mode, use Window/Veejay or Ctrl+F11. Note that the ONLY way to exit Veejay mode is by pressing Ctrl+F11. In a new installation, entering Veejay mode causes a warning dialog to appear. To permanently disable this warning, check the "don't show me this again" checkbox.

The following commands are disabled in Veejay mode:

File/New
File/Open
File/Save
File/Save As
File/Print
File/Print Preview
File/Print Setup
File/Export Bitmap
File/Load Snapshot
File/Movie/Play
File/Movie/Export
File/Exit
View/Parms
View/Numbers
View/Crossfader
View/Playlist
View/Master
View/Options
View/Midi Setup

The following commands, which normally display a file dialog, use the default output folder instead:

File/Save Mix
File/Take Snapshot
File/Movie/Record
