I still want to have a cross platform application. I began trying to find new viable options, and I was just about to start a write up in python when I discovered FocusWriter. It is a cross platform distraction free environment, and it uses QT. It’s written in C++, which I don’t really like, but I could deal with it. I would almost say it is enough to use FocusWriter, but it is missing some key functionality from Dark Room I couldn’t live without. Therefore, at this point I am seriously considering forking FocusWriter in order to add in the additional Dark Room functionality.

Thoughts?

People have been working on solutions for this on the boards for a while. However, they all involved editing core files, and a lot of them. I try never to edit core files, just because of the nightmares it creates in upgrading. And, I did not want to put the time investment into writing a whole module for it. So, I just whipped up a script to change the presentation to absolute.

You can view my solution, as well as many others on the relevant thread over on the magneto forums:
