Full Screen Browser Window

When i publish for full screen, I don't get a true full
screen browser window. I get a browser window that is supposed to
be large enough for the Captivate file but it's not always working
depending on the computer. I would like have the html file launch a
true full screen browser window no matter what resolution the user
has. Any html gurus know what i can change in the html file to make
that happen?

Have you done a search for "full screen" in these forums? I
think you'll find that there are different approaches, depending on
your definition of full screen.
None of these solutions is perfect from what I've seen as
we're forced to deal with what the browser vendors will allow in
this "more secure" day and age.

Open .swf in full-screen browser window?

Hi there! I would appreciate if someone could help me with this:
I have a .swf that I embed in an .html file. When loaded, the html file opens up in a window with the application taking up only 50% of the window. I'd like to have the application open in a window that's full screen. Is that possible at all?
The .html file I'm using is a standard one generated by Captivate and looks like this:

Hi,
What do mean by browser window?
If you mean the File>Open dialog, double click on the Title bar to get it back to a smaller size.

Trying to use launchd to reload full-screen browser

I'm trying to use launchd to run a simple digital sign to show the weather.
Use case:
Start browser on boot, load up a URL (THIS WORKS)
Run a simple apple script that reloads the browser
Use launchd to run that script to reload the browser every 5 minutes.
All was well until I switched my browser to full-screen mode.
Now, when the launchd script fires off, it moves back to the desktop (away from the full screen browser).
Tabs reload correctly but the user cannot see them (because the browser is not visible anymore).
Put simply: If I open up a browser into full screen mode, and then use launchd Apple script to reload it, the full-screen browser dissapears, and the Desktop shows up. If I command-tab back to the browser, I can see that the reload worked.
Does anyone know how to make this work so that the browser reloads in full-screen mode without switching to the desktop when I call my applescript?
If it helps, here is my code in the apple script... this all works (I'm using a Chrome extension to make ctrl+shift+r reload all tabs)
tell application "Google Chrome" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          delay 2.0
          tell process "Google Chrome"
key down control
key down shift
key down "r"
                    delay 0.2
                    key up "r"
key up shift
key up control
          end tell
end tell

Sort full-screen Browser in Browser mode?

Hi. I'm missing something -- the ability to sort the current container while in full-screen browser mode. In full-screen, there are only two viewing modes, Browser (shows contents of selected containers) and Viewer (shows selected images). In Viewer mode, one can pop-up the Filmstrip and use its sort control. In Browser mode, there is no Filmstrip, and no sort control I can find.
Currently I change from Browser to Viewer in order to sort while running full-screen.
Thanks.

How do you keep finding these? I drew a blank. They should hire you to break their programs
Seems like it might be time for an Apple Feedback Being abler to sort in the full screen browser doesn't seem like something you should even have to ask for.
Currently I change from Browser to Viewer in order to sort while running full-screen.
Just tried it and it seems almost faster to go from fullscreen browser to normal browser, set sort, and switch back. With your finger poised over the F key and mouse set over where the sort field is it went pretty fast.

Mail In Full Screen Closes Window after Sending

I love using mail in full screen.
When I send a new message or reply to a message the Mail window closes out of the full screen and closes the mail window. How do I get the window to stop closing after I send or reply?

I found out what is was. I had serial mail try to send about 200 emails. Something went wrong (not sure whether it is lion compatible) and there were a load of unsent emails somewhere in the background. Funny thing was they were not showing anywhere, just when I tried to close window, an unsent message popped up.
Anyway, force quit mail as I could not be bothered to find out how many mails had not been sent, and on reopening all back to normal

Since updating a day ago, Firefox will not open on full screen on Windows 7

Accessing from taskbar on Windows 7 shows its open but will not open on full screen. And its also affected my Quicken program, doing the same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problems. Did the updates affect my computer? And adobe was updated at the same time. I spent two hours w/ Quicken support, problem still exists. The only change that was made to the computer was the Mozilla update.

Right-click on the shortcut used to open Firefox and select Properties. If you get a Windows Jump list when you right click, right-click on the Firefox entry in the jump list and select properties.
In the Shortcut tab of the properties dialog box, set the Run option to Maximized, then click OK to save the settings.
You can do this for any program.

Merge two full-screened safari windows' bug under lion

Hi there,
After installed lion, i found an obviously bug in safari.
1. Open safari, enter full-screen mode.
2. Creat a new safari window (not a new tab), then it will moved into a other full-screen automaticlly.
3. Click in menu bar : window>merge all windows.
4. And here you go, two widows will be merged into one full-screen without the 'quit full-screen mode' buttom, and the other full-screen 'desktop' will be blank with only background. And the mission control died also XD

exactly, see~

IView in an full screen external window

hello,
i've configured an iview to be opened in an external window.
it works well but i can't find how to automatically maximized this new window?
best regards

You could set the "window features" property of the iview as you would do in a window.open() method usage in javascript.
In the window.features you could say 'fullscreen=yes'. However, beware that if you do fullscreen=yes then you will not have the browser window features like close button, minimize, restore buttons. So if you have ot go to another screen you have to do an ALT + TAB.
or you could fix the starting point of hte window to 0,0 on the screen so that it starts at the left-top corner of the screen. To do that you have to set left=0, top=0 in the "Window Features" property apart from the height and width properties.

Can anyone help me in that?

I agree on that the nokia browser should be able to run i full screen mode as in opera mobile.
Another thing, when n browsing nokia discussions the fonts are way to small using nokia browser (nokia e6, nokia 700 and 701). I have to use opera for doing this as i am doing right now replying in this thread.

Firefox 4, installed, It was opening Yahoo Contact List full screen, vice "window". Removed 4 and restalled 3.6 to solve problem.

Used 4 about six weeks and twice it opened the address book on Yahoo in full screen instead of "window" style. The first time it all of sudden opened to full screen. About three days later it by it self returned to window by itself. three weeks later it restarted again with full screen. ran this way for six days. I reloaded 3.6 and have not had a problem since. I did run Yahoo on IE and Google Chrome with no problem.

I have this same problem. Firefox 4 on 10.6.7 on a 2009 unibody Macbook Pro.
I've noticed that I only have the problem when I'm using multiple monitors and my Firefox 4 window is to the left of the Mac OS X Menu Bar.
My typical arrangement is: laptop monitor with firefox 4 window TO THE LEFT OF external Dell 24 inch monitor with Mac OS X Menu bar.
Moving my Firefox 4 window to the external monitor allows me to open a window.

Flash Player does not launch full screen upon Windows restart

We have a Flash application file (flash.exe file) saved on the Desktop of our client's 46" touchscreen. We've created a shortcut to the application in the Windows Start/All Programs/Startup menu as we have 4 reboots scheduled during the day for this application. Upon reboot, the application does not launch full screen but if I cancel out of the application through the Task Manager and go to the Startup menu and double click the shortcut to the exe file, the application launches full screen. The size of the screen and application is 1920x1080.
Other information:
Windows XP SP3
Flash Player 10
(Please note I have fixed the Window System Error that you see in this screen shot)
Thank you for your help!

Do you have set it to Maximized ?

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?

Keyboard access to PS CS6 Menu Bar in Full Screen Mode (Windows)

I'm looking to find a way to access Photoshop Menus in Full Screen Mode by pressing the Alt+(any of the underlined Menu Keys).
The alternative I've been using is pressing the Tab key to show the Menu and Panels, or simply toggling Screen Modes (f key or Shift+f) but that negates the purpose of Full Screen Mode. I followed the instructions on this post to no avail:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2012/09/accessing-the-menu-bar-via-a-keyboard-shortcut-in-pho toshop-cs6.html#comments
I really enjoy everything else about my upgrade to CS6 except for this lacking feature found in most of the earlier versions. I hope there's an answer to this one, as my keyboard hand is all ready over cluttered with Custom Keyboard Shortcuts that use the Ctrl Key.
Thanks!

Thanks, I rebooted and it came good, but if it happens again i'll try that

Full screen windows 7 taskbar bug

Since the recent install of Flash Player 11 (v11,1,102,55) there was irritating problem on the laptop of my wife. When YouTube flash video were put in full screen the Windows 7 taskbar would remain visible.
The laptop screen is 1920 x 1200 so standard the DPI setting of the display is put to 150. If I would put the DPI to the standard setting the taskbar will disappear with full screen video but then everything is too small in windows. At first I did not release it could a problem with the Flash Player but when I did come to that conclusion I had to apply the following to the plugin-container program which is situated in the webbrowser install folder. In this case Mozilla Firefox.
After selecting the properties of plugin-container I went to the compatibility tab and put a flag in the option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". This basically solved the annoying problem but frankly such a sloppy fault in a commonly used program like Flash Player should not be there. I advise Adobe to correct this in the next version. There are quite a lot people these days who have laptops with HD resolution so fix it!
In the mean time I hope this will be of help to people who have a similar problem.

Oh thank God. I've been struggling with this very issue for months with my task bar obscuring Flash video in full-screen, which really sucks since that's where the video controls are.
I knew it was the DPI setting and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that Adobe hasn't accounted for this on a piece of software that is pretty much essential to using the internet and when most people are using HD displays.
After reading this fix, I immediately browsed to C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox and right clicked Properties on the plugin-container application. Right there on the Compatibility tab is the option Disable scaling on high DPI settings. Checked the box and imediatly full-screened the first flash video I could find. Problem solved, didn't even have to reboot the browser.
BarrieBar, I salute you. Never would have found this without your post.
Thanks.
