Safari window to full screen.

Yes, a simple user question. How to get my Safari window to full screen?

Drag window's upper left-hand corner to the screen's upper left-hand corner, click and drag bottom right-hand corner resize triangle, and drag to the screen's lower right-hand corner. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, but that's it. AFAIK, there's no command shortcut that does it.

How I do I set Safari Window to "Full Screen"?

Hi - this is a very simple question I am sure. I am using a new MacBook, and when I start using Safari, the window barely fills half the screen, rather than the full screen ( which I would like). How can I set it to do this? It is baffling me. You cannot drag the margins of the window to make the window bigger and the maximise button does not make the window any bigger! Help appreciated!!

Copy and paste this script to your Bookmark Bar.
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Give it a name like +Full Screen+. When you click on it you goto full screen. Works great. -GDF

When Safari is in full screen, the window slides off screen to the right after a short period of time. How do I fix this?

When Safari is in full screen, window slides off screen to the right after a few seconds. Does not happen if Safari is not full screen. How do I fix this?

You are probably inadvertently swiping to another full-screen app. Are you using a magic trackpad? Does this happen without you touching anything?

Thank you, this resolved my question as well.

Safari wont go full screen

Like some of the other applications on my power book my screen for safari wont go max and cover my whole screen, i have to squint to read. Clicking on the green + thing wont maximize to the fullest.

L,
If your main problem is squinting to read, then you need to increase your font size in Safari and/or go up to the View menu and click on "make text bigger" a few times. You can als use the key combination of command and the plus sign to increase text size. This is a different issue than increasing the size of your browser window to full screen.
You can click and hold on the lower right hand corner of the browser window and drag it down and to the right as far as you want to fill the screen.
Hope this helps you avoid further eye strain.

           it_business_parameter    = lt_business_param    ).
    lr_fpm_navigation->navigate( lv_key ).
Any idea how to open this window in full screen?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thank and Regards
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
This FPM navigation is achieved using settings made in Launchapd Customizing ( LPD_CUST ).
a) Execute Tran LPD_CUST
b) Go to Role HAP - Double Click to open it.
c) Open the second folder on the LHS menu - there you will find 2 entries
d) Click on second entry - in the entry setting you can see that it is configured for WD Application - HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT
e) Click on button Show Advanced Parameters
f) There you will find a input box named as Window Features - here you can specify window features like
height=700,width=1100,position=center,menu=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no
save the settings come out and test ur app again.
change the height and width and other features as per ur req.

Is it possible to set a finder window to full screen mode,..

... like mail, itunes and other apps? and if not, why not?
I have to say it took me a bit to get used to Lion, I began complaining all day until I decided to take some time to learn it, and now I like it very much, I see the advantages over 10.6.
But still, there are some things I don't know about, and the window of opportunity to take time to learn more has closed. And I don't know when it'll open again.
So, that's why I have joined the community, because now I'm trying to use everthing on full-screen mode, and as I was setting my desktops to work on a project in which I will be needing a lot of finder windows open with a lot of items each, I instantly asked myself:
Is it possible to set the finder windows to full screen? because I don't see any buttons.
Thanks 4 Your Time
R.D.B.

Thanks Don Archibald,
Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment. But I thought it would be nice to have the little full screen button just to press it so.
Besides, I'm still figuring out the finder windows' behaviour. I discovered that if you open a folder from a window that has the toolbar, the new folder would also open with a toolbar, even if you already had it set it up with just the status bar.
And one thing that still enervates me is that if you have a window with two items, and you press the green button to fit the borders up tight, instead of leavin' the 2 items in a horizontal arrangement, it moves one to the bottom and puts a slider. Arrgh.
Another thing I haven't understood is why one folder I have on the dock sometimes opens with a column layout instead of the icon layout I have arranged for it before. Totally random 4 now, can't find the why.
Anyway... I'm going to order some lapel pins about 2 flags I designed for two embassies. Anyone know a good place for doing that?

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

Windowed to Full-screen takes 3 attempts

I'm working on a program, and one of the features I want is to be able to toggle between Full-screen and Windowed modes. I've searched these forums (and google) and saw a lot of the bug issues with full-screen implementations were from JDK 1.4, but haven't found if those bugs still exist. I also haven't found anyone that's encountering quite the same problem I'm having, which is:
When changing the window (JFrame) from windowed mode to full-screen, it does a minimize-maximize loop 3 times before it finally goes full-screen.
I thought it might've been related to the many other parts of the code I had written to handle this (namely key events for global hotkeys), but in the following demo which is a watered-down version of what I'm doing, I still get the same problem. Only difference between this and the actual program is the actual program uses an input-action mapping instead of a button.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ToggleTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice;
    private DisplayMode origDisplayMode;
    private JButton myToggleButton;
    private boolean isFullScreen = false;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ToggleTest();
    public ToggleTest() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JPanel tmp = new JPanel();
        GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices();
        graphicsDevice = devices[0];
        origDisplayMode = graphicsDevice.getDisplayMode();
        JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Test fullscreen");
        tmp.add(myLabel);
        myToggleButton = new JButton("Toggle");
        myToggleButton.addActionListener(this);
        tmp.add(myToggleButton);
        getContentPane().add(tmp);
        setSize(800,600);
        setVisible(true);
     * Toggles the screen between full-screen and windowed.
     * Implemented as a method for re-usability with code
     * that doesn't trigger action commands.
    private void toggle() {
        if(isFullScreen) {
            //Set to windowed mode
            dispose();
            setUndecorated(false);
            setResizable(true);
            graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(null);
            setSize(800,600);
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setVisible(true);
            validate();
        } else {
            //set fullscreen mode
            dispose();
            setUndecorated(true);
            setResizable(false);
            graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(this);
            setVisible(true);
            validate();
        isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if(e.getSource() == myToggleButton) {
            toggle();
}I tried messing with the graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode method, but in examples I've seen, it made the whole screen go black and to the specified resolution of the supplied display mode. I'd rather keep the native resolution regardless of being in full-screen or windowed mode, and instead of having the setDisplayMode(origDisplayMode) in both the windowed and full-screen declarations, I just removed it (with no seemingly ill effects).
I also tried removing the setFullScreenWindow(this) and just resized the JFrame to the current resolution, removed the decorations, removed the ability to resize it, and set it at the upper left corner, and this was a step closer to what I wanted. There were no minimize-maximize incidents, however the start bar was still on top. Reading the javadoc said if fullscreen mode wasn't supported that it would simulate it (which could be the case as the computer I'm testing it on has integrated graphics).
Any help would be appreciated.

That would be nice.
Would also be nice to have the visualizer full screen on the secondary screen and leave the pimary screen alone.

Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

Hi everyone,
I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
EDIT:
Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?

My bookmarks bar and toolbar do not drop down when Safari is in full-screen mode.

I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down. Once I escape then I can see them fine. I'm also having issues with dragging or dropping ANYTHING. A gost image of what I am trying to move shows, and will not go away unless I force quit Mail or Safari. Needless to say, what I ws attempting to drag and drop does not take effect.

Hi..
I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down.
Click the title bar one time. The gray area of the window at the very top of your screen in full screen mode.
Not sure what you mean by, "anything", when dragging and dropping. Right or control click the content. There may be an option for saving that data for you from the menu.

Open new Finder windows in full screen mode by default

I'd like for new finder windows to open full-screen by default.
I have found that, if I have no finder windows open, opening a new finder window always defaults to a non-full-screen window.
Is there a way to fix this?

System Preferences > General
Uncheck the box beside “Close windows when quitting an application”.

6.0.1 update lost default window sizing and all windows open full screen now, why and how do I get my original window sizes back?

After updating Firefox to version 6.0.1, all browser windows open in full screen size. I need new browser windows to open in their original default size since I use a website for work that opens multiple browser windows.
I used to be able to fix this problem by renaming my localstore.rdf file in my profile and then restarting Firefox but this does not seem to work in this last update.
This appears to be a recurring problem for Firefox and it's extremely frustrating.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.

Adobe Camera Raw window-Only full screen?

I use Elements 7.0. In an attempt to improve my photography, I’ve been concentrating on getting as close to a proper exposure in camera using zone system etc. To further get close to the appropriate exposure after the shot is taken, I’ve begun to shoot in raw. I’ve bought a couple of books, videos etc. and I’m getting the basics down fairly well.
I have one basic question. I’ve searched help both in Elements and within this forum and I can’t find anything that addresses my question.
When I select a nef image (Nikon D90) in the Organizer and go to “Edit” and then “Full Edit”, the Adobe Camera Raw box opens up in full screen with the selected image displayed. No part of the desktop is displayed, including the taskbar.
Is there a way to open up ACR that is not full screen? I’m so new that I still need to refer to help to figure out what certain sliders do. I have a 25.5 diagonal monitor, so I have the screen real estate to have a fairly large ACR window while at the same time displaying a help screen.
Thank you for your input.

Not sure if this will help, but on my ACR to the right of the Preview checkbox there is a window-double-arrow symbol that toggles full-screen mode in ACR so even if ACR started up in full-screen you could unmaximize it and then resize it somewhat smaller. I don't know how to start it up non-maximized in the scenario you describe because I don't use that scenario and my ACR starts up in whatever mode I last closed it, full-screen or not.
