if not fullscreen, normalscreen!
over at Adult Swim you can watch all your favorite smart, humorous and potentially offensive cartoons, streamed straight from the studio using Adobe’s Flash player technology. Adult Swim have smartly coded their player to quickly enlarge and browse other videos without the need to refresh the page. However this blog is intrigued by the nomenclature used to describe the player’s functions: notably, when the player is originally engaged, it has a clickable button that will enlarge the player to ‘full screen’. And when in full screen, and you are ready to return to what you were originally presented with, you do not ‘exit full screen’, nor ‘zoom to original’, but rather click ‘normal screen’.
fullscreen will always be different, depending on the user’s screen ratio and size. But normalscreen is the same for all! Yay for homogeneity, yay for normalscreen!
