Hi @wasn

This is achievable using https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS on the pi3

And just connecting to Pi 4 running venus os via web interface?

But then i still See the Software Buttons on the right site.

Or is there a Mode to See only the screen?

That leads me in the right direction.

I have changed the framebuffer Resolution in /u-boot/config to 800x480


Then copied the webpage to /var/www/fullpage

Here used the styles.css from the mentioned Post and edited it with these changes


Background to #202020

No round edges

Deleted borders

Canvas size to 800x480


Now the 7" touchscreen Shows it Real fullscreen
