Storyline 2 Player

I wonder if someone could answer a query I have.
I am considering upgrading to Storyline 2 and one thing I always wanted to do in Storyline 1 was to completely remove the player frame around the e-learning. I know in Storyline 1 you could remove most of the frame and make the rest transparent, but you could never completely remove it.
Looking at the Storyline 2 promotional material, images of courses on both ipad and Android tablets show full screen courses with no frame around them. Is it possible to create courses without a frame like the picture below, or are these just promotional screens that have been mocked up?
Thanks,
Rob,

Hi Rob,
That particular image is actually taken from the Articulate Mobile Player on the iPad which supports full screen (by pinching out). Courses in the browser (iPad, Android, Desktop) will still have the player around the outside edges as they did in SL1.

Thanks for your answer Mike!
Are there any plans to have the option to remove the frame in the future? When designing e-learning for an LMS I like to be able to design every detail regarding how a course looks, that frame always gets in my way a little
Hi Rob,
I'm not privvy to the road map, but do feel free to chime in here.

Having recently downloaded the Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) on a few Android devices, I can verify that the pinch out (zoom in) gesture hides the mobile player and zooms in to the stage. The pinch in (or zoom out) gesture similarly brings the player interface back into view.
I still have letter boxing on the left and right sides of both the mobile player and content (whether zoomed in or out), but that may be due to me using devices that aren't fully supported. I was told in a separate thread that the Android AMP is officially supported on Android OS 4.1 or later (optimized for tablets).
