In this article, I
will demonstrate professional approaches to maximize screens in Oracle
APEX helping you design applications that are not only functional but also
optimized for clarity, focus, and efficiency. For better understanding you can find a tutorial from here.
STEP- 1:
Login to you application as a developer. Open shared components. Clik on the "Lists" under the "Navigation and Search" section. A new page will be opened showing existing navigation lists. Click on the report's row where showing the "Navigation Bar" under the "Name" column.
Another page (List Details) will be opened with showing the exisiting lists. Click on the "Create List Entry" button. List entry creation page will be open. Enter the following attributes as like shown below-
Name: 'JS 1'
Template: Blank with Attributes
Header Text:
<script>
function replaceIcon() {
var iconElement = document.getElementById('full-screen');
if (iconElement.classList[2] === 'fa-expand') {
iconElement.classList.remove('fa-expand');
iconElement.classList.add('fa-compress');
} else {
iconElement.classList.remove('fa-compress');
iconElement.classList.add('fa-expand');
}
}
function openFullScreen() {
replaceIcon();
var elmnt = document.documentElement;
if (document.fullscreen) {
closeFullScreen();
} else if (elmnt.requestFullscreen) {
elmnt.requestFullscreen();
} // FOR SAFARI BROWSER
else if (elmnt.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
elmnt.webkitRequestFullscreen();
} // IE 11
else if (elmnt.msRequestFullscreen) {
elmnt.msRequestFullscreen();
}
}
function closeFullScreen() {
if (document.exitFullscreen) {
document.exitFullscreen();
} // FOR SAFARI BROWSER
else if (document.webkitExitFullscreen) {
document.webkitExitFullscreen();
} // FOR IE 11
else if (document.msExitFullscreen) {
document.msExitFullscreen();
}
}
</script>
Click OK to close the editor. Click "Save and Run" button. Enjoy the maximize screen in your application. When you click on the "Expand" icon the screen will looks like-
It will differ from your home page. This is my home page. So, don't worry about it. Let's enjoy.
Maximizing screen space in Oracle APEX is more than a cosmetic
adjustment—it’s a usability enhancement that directly impacts user efficiency.
By leveraging these techniques, you can provide your end-users with a cleaner, full-screen interface that
supports focus, reduces distractions, and simplifies navigation.
As applications grow
in complexity, optimizing every pixel of your workspace becomes essential. With
the right implementation, your APEX applications will not only look more
professional but also deliver a superior
user experience that aligns with modern application standards.
