If use QLC+ maximized i can't close the program because there is no close button in bar.
So i have to get out of full screen mode to close the program.
It possible add the close button in the button bar ?

I know that you can . Maybe i misspelled meant if it is possible in the sense it is useful for everyone.
I asked this because i use QLC + always full screen and every time i open and close it i have to click on the " full screen button".
I finding it uncomfortable and i wanted to know if it is the same for others users.

Would it help having a key-combination (shortcut) instead of having to click on the FS icon ?
Like CTRL+F or something like that

Actually...looking at the code, a key sequence is already defined. It's CTRL+F11
It doesn't work on my Linux distro cause probably the Window Manager is grabbing it, but maybe on OSX it works

Currently i use the key combination of the operating system to close QLC+ when it is in full screen:
Windows: Alt + F4
Mac OSX: cmd + q

In Kiosk you can already activate a close button be specifing -c as command line parameter
Only for normal operation int fullscreen mode this is not possible.
I would vote for a close button which also can shutdown the system.
Implemented this already for me, but it only works on linux systems and you need to run qlc+ as root, which is not an ideal solution.
Also tried to shutdown qlc+ via systemcommand option in scribt but i didn't manage to shutdown qlc+ safely (asking for save for example), was just able to kill the process.
Maybe someone can add a script command for clean shutdown of qlcplus so everyone is able to build a configurable closebutton on their own?

Moved to a more proper section.
In general, I don't think it's QLC+ role to interfere with your system status (shutdown / reboot)
More likely, you can wrap QLC+ into a script and when QLC+ close, you decide what to do in the script.
You can't shutdown/reboot Linux from a normal user in any case !Implemented this already for me, but it only works on linux systems and you need to run qlc+ as root, which is not an ideal solution.

Would just be nice to close qlc+ from fullscreen without going back to normal screen first.
Basically i have two approches how three achieve that.
1. Add a close button to fullscreen VC similar to the one in kiosk mode (tried this already, but it always disappeard on loading a new workspace, had no time for debugging so long)
2. Add a close button to the already existing menue bar wich is also visible in fullscreen mode
3. Implement a script command which closes qlc+
I'm also willing to implement this if you agree, just need to know which version would be preferred
System shutdown i agree is something everyone should do on their own if neccesary because of needed root permissions, but with a propper close this would be much more comfortable

Short question to the developers:
Just had a look into the sourcecode...
A close option for the toolbar is already existing, just seems to be only visible on raspberry pi
Are there any reasons why this is only visibly on RasperryPi?
Tested it on my Windows machine also as on my Odroid-XU4 running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and it seems to work well.
Showing this icon always would be really simple and should give the feature most asked for in this thread.

The Raspberry Pi image doesn't have a window manager, therefore windows don't have a "X" icon to close them, so there's no way to exit QLC+, even with a mouse.

That explains only why it exists on raspberry pi, but not why it is raspberry pi exclusivemcallegari wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2017 12:33 pm The Raspberry Pi image doesn't have a window manager, therefore windows don't have a "X" icon to close them, so there's no way to exit QLC+, even with a mouse.

I just pushed a change to have a generic behaviour both for the RPi and desktop versions.
If QLC+ is launched with the --nowm option, it will add extra buttons to close windows. This includes a button on the main toolbar to close QLC+.
