I am working on an interactive video installation using Module8 with a touch screen interface. Visitors will be able to touch media thumbnail images on the touch screen to trigger changes in the output composition. This is currently working well with the Media Keyboard module which can fit exactly in the entire touch screen monitor at 800x600px. Is it possible to create a module that cannot be repositioned or is very difficult to reposition? This way a user could select media from the module but not accidentally move the module on the touchscreen revealing the rest of the Modul8 interface below it.

I'm also curious to know if there is the possibility of running Module8 in a kiosk mode so that users are able to use the normal Module8 interface or modules but not able to use the menu bar to do actions such as Hide, Quit, Save, etc. My current partial solution to this problem is to adjust the vertical positioning on the touch screen monitor's adjustment settings so that Apple's menu bar is out of view (but is still functional). I am researching ways to do this. Some apps such as Apple's DVD Player can hide the menu bar when in full-screen mode.
