How To Start Applications in Full Screen?

Hey guys,
Basically, there are particular applications such as Mail and Calender that I want to start at Login in Full Screen Mode. Currently, regardless of whether I've closed them when in Full Screen, they always reopen in their 'windowed' state. Is there a way (whether editing script, or ticking a box!) to start them in Full Screen consistently?
Thanks a lot,
Tom

Uncheck the box indicated in the screenshot below and the app should start in the same mode as you quit it in (i.e., if it was in FS mode when you quit, it'll open in FS mode).

Is there a way to auto-start applications in full screen, such as Safari, Mail, iTunes etc.?

I would like several applications to start in full screen, including Mail, Safari and iTunes, rather than starting them, then making them full screen. Is there a setting somewhere or a way of doing that? Thanks in advance.

I found it. In System Preferences under General "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" has to be checked. However when that is checked it takes you back to all of the sites you had open when you quit the app. I would prefer it start full screen, but back at the home page. Do yours do that as well?

How can I run applications in full screen on my MacBook Pro?

I recently started using an external HP w1858 monitor as a secondary display with my MacBook Pro. I'm having troubles with running applications in full screen mode on the secondary display. How can I run applications in full screen mode on the secondary monitor?

If you always have the external display connected, you can configure the OS to consider it as the default or main display. Once everything is connected and set to your liking (resolution, color depth, etc.), "bless" the external display by clicking & dragging the menubar from the Mac's internal display onto the external. This only works if you are not using video mirroring.
Once this is done, applications will open by default on the external and now "main" display and you can configure them to go fullscreen or whatever.

How do I run two full screen applications on separate screens?

I have two screens for my MacBook Pro with Lion; the laptop screen and a stock screen hooked up by a VGA cable. Currently, when I use a full screen application, my second screen just changes to the grey fabric pattern. How do I run a full-screen application on each screen?

Hi Jared,
Connect/turn on the external monitor. Open System Preferences on your MBP > Displays. There should be two windows, one for the external monitor and one for the MBP. Click on the window for the external monitor. Click on the Arrangement tab. Uncheck the box for Mirror Displays. This willallow you to set each display to its own resolution. On the external display, click on the pref window for the external monitor display setting. Click on Display. Set the resolution to what you want. On the MBP's display, click on the pref window for the MBP's display and set the resolution to whatever you want. You'll be in what's called "extended desktop mode." You'll have to move the "pointer" all the way to the edge of one display to get it to go onto the other display. Open whatever you want, and drag it to the extended monitor. Set it to full screen. Open another whatever on the MBP's display and set it to full screen. You should be full screen on both displays.

Start 3rd party application in full screen

I am a user of DXO Optics pro. It has a full screen option built into it. I always run this application in full screen mode. So to save on time I wonder if there is a way to ensure that every time I open it the application starts in full screen mode. I have tried a number of things like quiting in full screen and other things I have seen in prior versions of OS X to no avail.
Thanks for any pointers in advance!

Instead of trying to set the size based on your screen's resolution, why dont you try something like this:

How to switch to full screen faster and change between applications in full screen faster

Hi, my problem is that when I switch any application to full screen it does a little animation which spends a little time before getting to the full screen mode. The other problem is that when I change between applications in full screen mode it also does a little animation!
How can I eliminate those annoying ways of losing time?
I hope and thank very much your answers!

sure man, after all the help i got, why not give some in return...
to make it full screen on oppening i put this code on the 1st frame:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true")
i also make 2 buttons for making the screen smaller and bigger again, for both i used the following

fscommand("fullscreen", "false")
this is for making it smaller, and for full screen i used "true" instead of "false"
of course i added a button foe exit with the follownig code:
on (release) {
fscommand("quit")

How to automatically open applications in full screen?

In Mountain Lion, I will almost always put any applications into full screen. Is there anyway to make them automatically go into full screen, right when you click the application icon? I just want to get rid of that extra step if I can...

If you Quit in Full Screen, it should open back up in Full Screen.
However, I don't use it at all, so my minimal testing just now might not be conclusive.

How do I start firefox in full screen?

I would like to start Firefox in LINUX environment from the command line. That is easy just type FIREFOX and hit enter or call a script for that instruction ios what I do.
The challenge is to start the browser FULL SCREEN, WITHOUT showing the cursor on the pages. - [In reality I want to add the F11 parameter in the start script as well as as "do not show the cursor (No idea to invoke it manually). This is a web app running on PC with a touch screen. Secondly I would like to refresh (Shift+F5) every hour or so without human intervention. (take into account the browsers shows full screen and here is no cursor available, so some kind of delete cash in the background or refresh complete website (like doing a Shift+F5)
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Frits

If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

1. How to view my work full screen? 2. How to make "F" keys behave proper?

Hello All,
Two softball questions for FCP batting practice:
1. Somewhere along the way, I came across an explanation on how to make my canvas full screen. I found a post mentioning View, External Video, and something about cinema (not in front of it right now). I don't have an external monitor, so how can I accomlish this on my laptop?
2. Speaking of laptops, many of the "F" keys don't work as described in the manual. For example, F12 brings up a dashboard with weather in Cupertino, CA. Not exaclty conducive to my workflow. Is there a place to tell the MacBook Pro that when operating this application, default to the "F" commands within the software?
Thanks All.

Hey Steve,
Point well taken. In the past week, I purchased a camera, Final Cut, MacPro, Mic, Lights, Tripod, etc. I have purchased two books that were recommended on this site (both excellent), and a CD tutorial. I have been out shooting every day, doing tutorials and editing (to the best of my ability) every night. All of that being said, it's a tremendous amount of information, and some of the finer points get lost. I am pleased to say that I have completed my first piece on hunger experienced by seniors in our community. Very gratifying.
So, I fully appreciate the apparent laziness inferred from my post, but trust me, I'm fully engaged, just overwhelmed.
Shane, thanks for "pinch hitting". Both solutions worked.

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

How can I exit from full-screen View?

On the View menu, I clicked "Full screen View", but then I couldn't find any way back to normal view. I had to Force-Quit Firefox to escape.
How do you exit from Full Screen View?
(I tried Esc, Ctrl-C, and many other key combinations)
Thanks, PeterR

Try F11.

How to show dock in full screen mode

Hello,
I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
Thanks

Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom. Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen. That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered. The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.
