emacs frame/window withouth minibuffer/modeline?

[joakim]

I'd like to make a fullscreen image viewer in Emacs for reading scanned
pages. I'd like only the buffer to show, no minibuffer, no modeline,
but cant really find anything about if its possible or not.  Any hints?

To get rid of the mode-line: (setq mode-line-format nil)
To get rid of the minibuffer: can't do that, tho you can create a new
frame without minibuffer by specifying a value nil for the `minibuffer'
frame parameter.

non-nil?

I don't think so.  Actually, I used them for creating "plain frames"
in order to do pagination for experimental GTK+ print dialog support:

epresent.el (from elpa) does this.  Looking at the code, it seems the
special sauce is make-frame:

     (make-frame '((minibuffer . nil)
                   (title . "EPresent")
                   (fullscreen . fullboth)
                   (menu-bar-lines . 0)
                   (tool-bar-lines . 0)
                   (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
                   (left-fringe . 0)
                   (right-fringe . 0)
                   (internal-border-width . 20)
                   (cursor-type . nil)))

HTH,

Mark.

What should happen when the user hits M-x in this mode or needs to
answer a prompt or something?
