Our developers have just completed some additional security measures for our Learnosity OnScreen assessment platform which dramatically enhances it's performance on Apple OSX machines and brings it to feature parity with the Windows versions.
The key change is full support for Kiosk mode on OSX 10.5 and 10.6 which provides the following functionality:
- Full screen mode (Application on primary screen goes full screen, and locks up all other screens).
- Key window always kept on top of other windows.
- Spotlight menu is disabled.
- Dock is entirely unavailable.
- Menu Bar is entirely unavailable.
- All Apple menu items are disabled.
- Cmd+Tab UI is disabled.
- All Exposé functionality is also disabled.
- Cmd+Opt+Esc panel is disabled.
- Restart/Log Out are disabled.
- Application "Hide" menu item is disabled.
- The transparent appearance of the menu bar is disabled.
- Cleans up the system pasteboard when the application starts.
This works on all Mac systems since October 2007, eg OSX 10.5 and above.
