OS X full screen feature

[pthirkell]

There was a posting in June by Trevor DeVore under "Engine Contributors" ... part of which I am reposting here as a feature request:

"Starting with OS X Lion (10.7) OS X windows have a full screen property that causes the window to enter it's own space and fill the entire screen. While LiveCode stacks have a 'fullscreen' property, it does not use the OS X APIs and behaves differently. Supporting the native OS X full screen behavior is important as being able to take windows full screen is a common (and expected) behavior on the platform."

Trevor has implemented this using an external, but for mere mortals such as me I would like to endorse this as a priority request for implementation within Livecode itself. Desktop apps are still an important area of development, and the appearance and behaviour of the home window in particular is essential to presenting a modern looking interface. Having a natively supported fullscreen <--> option for OS X apps would be fantastic thanks!

I would say the same about the capability to have menu icons across the top of cocoa windows, but I'll reiterate that in a separate request.

There's a request for this, now flagged as "confirmed". Now that the Mac engine is using Cocoa, hopefully this nice detail won't take too long:
