Make application always launch in full screen mode?

Some apps such as Mail and iTunes will remember that they are set to full screen mode when the Mac is restarted and will relaunch exactly as I left them.
I have one third-party app (Linootype FontExplorer X Pro) which supports the full screen feature, but upon restart it will revert to a standard window rather than full screen and occupying its own space. The app's preferences don't seem to have any specific setting in them, but I was wondering if there is anything at the OS level I could try?
Thanks

Lightroom launches in full screen mode on iMac

LR has just started to launch in full screen mode on my iMac without any opportunity to minimize it or move to another program. I would like it to launch like it used to where I can control the window size but can't seem to figure out how to get back to that capability. I have an iMac running Mountain Lion. LR is the only program effected as Photoshop still launches the old way.

The "F" key cycles through screen modes.

Is there a way to set an application to always open in full screen mode?

Some applications I would like to default to full screen on startup (iPhoto for example). Is there a setting for that, or do I need to manually switch to full screen every time I launch it?
Thanks!

Have been searching for this as well. Mail, Safari, iWorks always opens full-screen. iPhoto and iMovies does not. Have a feeling that for now that feature is not working in iPhoto and iMovies.

HELP! I shut down my macbook pro and now after applications have been in full screen mode for awhile they automatically minimize and it takes me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I shut down my macbook and now while applications such as safari have been open for awhile, even while active, will automatically minimize and it take me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I should add that this has happened before and I feel like it was a quick un-toggling of a box in my settings, but I can not remember what to do.

Open the application in Full Screen Mode

Hi all,
I want my application to open in Full Screen Mode(same as when 'F11' key is pressed) after login button is clicked.
How can it be done in application express??
Can anyone help me??

Hi,
Make sure you add the code into the page's HTML Header setting:
<script type="text/javascript">
function maxWindow()
window.moveTo(0, 0);
if (document.all)
top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
else
if (document.layers || document.getElementById)
   if (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth)
    top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
    top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
window.onload = maxWindow;
</script>I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:158]
Note that a user can stop javascript from resizing/repositioning the browser (I have this set in FireFox for example) - so this code may not work in those circumstances

MAM application in Full screen mode.

Hi All,
We are looking for making MAM application to startup in full screen mode by default in PDA.
We searched in SDN and found a procudere for this but for LAPTOP client how to acheive the same in PDA client.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Sai krishna. K

Hi,
well, we had this issue as well - it is not possible to tell the PDA to switch off the address bar by default. I have not checked all entries in REGISTRY - but there was a much more easy way.
If you have access to Visual Studio - it takes you 5minutes to solve that issue.
1.) create a project for PDA.
2.) place the browser control into the screen of the PDA
3.) change the settings and parameters so it fits your needs
4.) create the app
solved......
Reason: IE on the PDA is a control that is available by microsoft. Well, and if you write your own application you can place this control into any PDA app and you can size it in almost every way you like. The control has exactly the same functionality then the IE - but it is pre configurable - so you can get rid of your address and status bar for example. Furthermore with a little more coding, you can catch the backspace events from the keyboard and prevent the browser from browse one page back - what could cause issues.... but then you need to do some additional coding.
Only thing then: user needs to start your App instead of IE - but this should be ok I think.
Hope it helps.
If you stay with the original browser - then the user has to tab the screen until the option window opens and has to switch to full screen - .... well, not really what you like I think.
Regards,
Oliver

Version 7.2.0 full screen mode does not appear in external display

I just upgraded to Version 7.2.0. The new full screen mode is fabulous. But, when the video starts, it moves the QuickTime window from my giant, external monitor to my laptop monitor. Is there some way to view video in full screen mode on my external monitor?
Cheers,
Greg
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Here's a solution I thought should work for QuickTime(not pro):
When you plug in an external monitor and choose to extend your desktop there is an extra tab in the "Display Settings" window for "arrangement". So, obviously on this page you can arrange your screens and decide which side you want your external monitor to extend your desktop on. Also, you can hold and drag the menu bar giving you the option of putting the menu bar on your external screen. So, one would think that the display that has the menu bar on it should be used as your default display. So, you would also think that QuickTime Player, when put into full screen mode, would use your "default" display to go into full screen. This seems logical, and possibly even desired behavior from a computer.
However, this is not the case. When I gave this a try no matter where you put your menu bar the QuickTime Player will always open its full screen mode in your MacBook Pro's display. What I propose is some how (though I'm unsure of how to do this) contact apple with a feature request that would allow you to explicitly set a default display and to have all applications use that display for when it goes into full screen.

Disable Full Screen Mode

I've finally gotten my mother-in-law comfortable with her Mac and now Full Screen Mode has thrown her for a loop. She will inadvertently go into Full Screen and then never remembers how to get out of it.
Is there a way to set System Preferences so that none of the applications will go into full screen mode?

I can't find one either, like many new Lion features this only gets activated by accident and its a struggle each time to make it go away.

How to remove status bar at bottom of browser when in full screen mode

We have an application that runs in full screen mode for public display, so having the status bar pop-up at the bottom of the screen is distracting when it moves between pages is distracting and detracts from the user experience.
How do I disable the status bar so that it no longer pops up when the browser is in full screen mode?

Or do you mean the floating message that describes the current activity of the browser (for example, Waiting...) or shows the URL of the currently hovered link?
That can be suppressed using custom style rules. Here is an example of a past thread on how you might do that:
[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/976248 How do I disable the link address popup at bottom of the page?]
That was as of Firefox 25. Does it still work in Firefox 30?

How to go back to card view when an app is in full screen mode without using launcher button

Is there a way to go back to card view when you are in full screen mode besides pressing he launcher button? This will wear that button out quick!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello and thank you for using the HP webOS Help Forums!
The center button is not required for going into card view. In any position (landscape or portrait) you may swipe your finger from the bottom to top but just make sure you start int he black area around the screen. This is a subtle yet quick movement and may require some getting used to.
I hope this helps

In full screen mode (with "Hide Toolbars" selected), is there a way to make FF stop bumping the page up and down everytime I move the mouse to the top of the screen to reveal/hide the toolbar?

In other words, is there a way to make FF behave like IE9 in full screen mode where the toolbar appears "over" the page rather than pushing the page down?

Hello,
Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas
