        @toomanylegos @lostless is being serious. You have entered Kiosk mode. You can enter the Konami code to exit it. More info at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#ui-modes

          @Zigurana would it make sense to add a popup prompt with a "OK" and "Cancel" confirmation, with info on what Kiosk mode is, and how to exit from it? I can imagine how it can be confusing if people get into it by mistake.

          Thoughts?

            @pjft There should definitely be a confirm screen with a warning and a reminder of how to revert to FULL mode. I have seen this same question pop up a lot recently in different places.

              Yeah, I 'll whip something up!

              If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                @zigurana I think I still may have a running example of that in GuiVideoScreensaverOptions::save(), though it's a single button, not giving the option to cancel, if it helps.

                        I've added a confirmation pop-up when changing the UI-mode to something other than FULL. This should reduce some of the confusion.

                        If you want to try this out, please install the EmulationStation-dev branch from the experimental menu.

                          @zigurana Can you make it flash red and have a loud siren noise?

                            @zigurana Sorry, but it is Kiosk mode on the main branch, not Kid.

                            EDIT: Just re-read it. The warning will come up when you change to any mode that is not full. Apologies.

                              Both of them are in the dev-branch, that's where the popup also lives, you know, in the FUTURE!!1!
