Theater Mode

Of the three Display Modes available in RealPlayer — Normal Mode, Toolbar Mode, and Theater Mode — Theater Mode displays like so:

• The Player Controls appear as a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. The toolbar also includes the menu button.
• The video image appears in the center of the screen against a black background. Using Theater Mode does not change your desktop. It only hides the desktop while you watch the presentation.
• Resize Options in the upper-left corner let you adjust the size of the video presentation.
• The Resize Options and the toolbar automatically hide, reappearing when you move your cursor.
• Related Info and Album Info are not available in Theater Mode.

Control Overlay

When you move your mouse pointer over a presentation, a control overlay appears around the presentation area. Use it to control aspects of the presentation such as its size and playback speed or to do more with the clip.

See Now Playing for more information.
