fullscreenmode on the desktop screen

Post by Jellobus » Tue Aug 26, 2014 11:12 pm

Hi All :o

I tried "fullscreenmode" of the stack to "exactfit" on the desktop screen. The problem I found is there are no decorations like close, minimize and hide buttons (You can see on the top of windows) Is there any settings to show those buttons when the fullscreenmode is exactfit or letterbox?


Thanks in advance!

i built my own into the interface.. well. not all just a button saying

Code: Select all

if the fullscreenmode of stack "stack" is true
  set the fullscreenmode of stack "stack" to false
else
  set the fullscreenmode of stack "stack" to true
end if

Hi Da_Elf,

Thanks for your suggestion. it works partly.. :D

On windows, there is no maximize button, there are only minimize and close. I can maximize stack with the button you suggested in the windows but when it is tested on osx, the third button (maximize) on the top right of native stack seems problem.

when I click this third button, the stack stretches to fit monitor without resizing objects... so unwanted area being shown. Is there way to hide this third button on the top of the stack or any walk around solutions?

Cheers,


Louis

ive found a little snag that i wonder if anyone else has had with fullscreen. Im using fullscreen letterbox and my interface was initially designed for a small monitor. We have upgraded to a really nice big monitor so the fullscreen is really nice to blow up the program to fill the screen. However the mouseEnter handler was used on a field to unhide a group that displays information about the field and hide the group on mouseLeave. When you mouseover in normal mode it works but in full screen mode when you mouseover the group unhides then hides itself. Is there anything i can do about this? The funny thing is it seems to be random. its worked at some times and it doesnt work most of the times
