           Summary: provide way to fade out UI for judging image with less
                    distracting surroundings
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: droebbel.melta at gmx.de


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

Even with a dark grey theme the UI sometimes makes concentrating on the image a
bit difficult. Full screen view is an option (though a menu bar is still there
then), but tools can not be used in that view.

How about an option to darken the UI by keyboard shortcut with three steps: 1.
normal 2. dark, but only just visible, making it still possible to use sliders,
curves etc 3. completely blacken everything but image

It would be best if all the screen would be covered by that, though that may be
a bit difficult.

I think that feature would be useful for image editor as well as album and
light table.

I saw the feature in LR3 and it was one of the few things I really liked.

Reproducible: Didn't try
