French term or phrase: panorama d'écran
Context: "Permet d’adapter l’interface utilisateur (menus et panoramas d’écrans) par usager et/ou groupe d’usagers."

http://www.fse.ulaval.ca/mediatic/lexique/index.html#p
defines "panorama d'écran" as "Terme qui précise que le fichier ou la page, accessible en réseau surtout, correspond en ampleur à l'espace disponible à l'écran sans se servir de l'ascenseur. Ce pourrait être l'équivalent d'un bloc ou d'un paragraphe."

This sound like "full screen". But that translates to "plein écran". Can any one confirm that "panorama d'écran" is synonymous with "plein écran" ?

visible screen area


Explanation:
According to this website (http://www.fse.ulaval.ca/mediatic/app/app3.htm), a panorama d'écran is the term used "pour désigner un espace d'écran visible en une seule fois sans dérouler, ce qui varie en fonction du moniteur utilisé"

This leads me to believe that the correct English term would be "visible screen area".
