Is it possible to only show the virtual console page and non of the other tabs or toolbars? Basically what you get from web gui.

Also is there any screen saver option? I'm using the 7inch touch screen and don't want burn in if left on all the time.

It is called "Kiosk mode" please check the documentation

Unless you run QLC+ on Xorg, there is no screensaver
As a workaround, I suggest to put everything into a full screen multi page frame, and have one page with black background and no widgets.

To start kiosk mode automatically on reboot:

edit the file /etc/init.d/qlcplus and add the "--kiosk" option there on the "QLCPLUS_OPTS=" line.

Thank you! I was trying to add -- kiosk to the wrong place, total brain fart.

I was trying to make HDMI blanking work, but no success with that. I guess the blank page is my only option.
