Full screen mode with dual screen

I have a Macbook Pro and use a second screen. I do like the new full screen feature but the app (safari, chrome, opera, firefox etc...) will only full screen with the primary screen (macbook screen). Really defeats the point of having two screens and having the full screen feature combined.
Any resolutions or is there a new update coming?
In Summary:
Full screen mode will only work on your primary monitor  and not a separate screen. Please help.

Known issue.
Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a future update.

  • Full screen mode with dual displays

    I use a 20" iMac, and have a 23" ACD hooked up to it. I use the 23" as the main display.
    Whenever i view a QT video, if i choose fullscreen it does it on the iMac screen. How can i get it to play fullscreen on the 23" ACD?

    How can I solve this same problem globaly? In other words, is there a way to tell the computer (my macbook) to throw ALL full screen things to the second display instead of the macbook's display?
    Realplayer, WMA, and computer games all still go to my macbook display. Ples help.

  • Single screen KVM with dual screen setup

    So here's the deal. I have dual 20" cinema displays hooked up to my Quad. I took one of the displays and hooked it up to my IOGear DVI KVM (http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GCS1764) so that that display could be shared with my Powerbook G4 and my Core Duo MacMini. However, when I change ports on the KVM, the secondary display "disappears" from the PowerMac and it starts freaking out. Sometimes it will just try to detect the screen (constant signal flickering) for a minute and then give up and operate as a single screen system but most of the time it tries to detect the screen for 2+ minutes until it just crashes the whole computer and then I have to reboot the PowerMac.
    Any ideas?

    Removing pin 16 on the DVI cable to the PoweMac might help. See the last item in: <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/support/faq/>

  • How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

  • [Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

    This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
    With Internet Explorer it is still working.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
    == Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
    Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
    Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
    - Internet Explorer 9
    - Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
    - Opera 12 build 1116
    In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

  • Full Screen Mode with Window Tabs? (Mac)

    I have never been able to use Full Screen Mode / Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar because my Window Tabs disappear.
    Until now I have ignored this but I really want to start making the most of my screen space. I don't understand how people can go into full screen mode without tabs of their open documents. It makes the experience completely useless to me and I can't believe I can't find any solutions online. I feel like I am overlooking a simple button somewhere on the screen thinking "surely Adobe would include this!?"
    Please help.
    I am currently on 13 inch MacBook Pro using CS6 beta.

    Thanks for the reply, but I already know of this 'workaround', and it isn't a solution for me. There is no functionality in cycling through windows with no idea when you will arrive at the correct PSD. I usually have quite a few open at the same time and I am constantly skipping between them nice and simply with the tabs...Please Adobe just add an option for tabs, all the other components of the layout are optional in full screen, why not tabs?
    Putting in a feature request for tabs in full screen mode is a good idea. One thing Photoshop could do in full screen mode is reveal the menu bar and tabs when the mouse is near the top of the screen. This is sort of an ad-hoc standard in tabbed apps like Chrome and Firefox. Even Adobe Photoshop Lightroom reveals the menu bar in this way, but Photoshop continues to use the same full screen behavior that it had back in the 1990s, when it was one of the few full-screen apps available.
    One workaround is to turn off Window > Application Frame, and when you're in full screen mode use Lion's Mission Control to pick a specific window. This works even better if you use or assign a shortcut to view the windows of a single application.

    how does everyone else cope?
    As a career-long Mac-user I am not accustomed to tabs and therefore don’t need or use them.
    Tabs have been in Mac apps, such as Apple Safari and Final Cut Pro, for many years.

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar view mode appears with Blue Background??

    Can someone please help me figure out what I did exactly to unintentionally change the "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar" view mode so that it now appears with a Blue Background, instead of the default gray one....and better yet, can someone let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background instead?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    >let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background
    SHIFT-Click the Paint Bucket pool in that area using the gray of your choice (e.g. 132, 132, 132).
    (That's probably what you did to turn it blue.)
    Or, more drastically, you can trash your preferences.

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar -blue

    For some reason the 'Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar' option has a blue background now. The background used to be gray, and then one time i opened up Photoshop and now the background is blue. It is very annoying and affects my painting. The grey was neutral, now it is blue so my colors are going to appear off.
    If you don't know what i mean: Open Photoshop, make a canvas (new image) Hit the key "F" on your keyboard 2 times so the canvas takes up the entire page but the menu bars are still up. The color around the canvas is Blue, when it has ALWAYS been gray.
    Please someone tell me how to fix this.

    I found out a solution. If anybody ever encounters this problem just right click on the background and select Gray. :)

  • PS CS6, Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, Zoom, Brush, Auto Pan

    There seems to be a functionality that was lost (or I can't find it) in CS6 that was in earlier versions.  When I am In Full Screen Mode with Menu and the image I am editing is zoomed in, I used to be able to shift+click my brush to extend a line.  That line would automatically reposition the image when I got to the edge of the screen.  Does anyone know if that functionality is gone or do I need to turn "something on”?
    1. I open a file
    2. I ender Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
    3. I enlarge the photo so that its boundaries are beyond the edge of the screen
    4. I enter mask mode (doesn't matter what mode)
    5. With my brush tool I start to paint a line by holding the "shift" key and "left-click"
    6. I get to the edge of the screen
    * this is where PS would reposition the image automatically and I could keep painting my line

    Which operating system are you using?

  • Xmonad with dual screen strange bug or feature !

    Hi,
    I am running xmonad with dual screen. The strange thing (bug or feature) I noticed that when I move a window to another screen and then try to change the workspace, the window moves along to the same workspace but lands on the other screen.
    Is there any way to switch off this feature. I googled a bit and replaced the greedyView parameter with view but it didn't help.

  • Screen mode with floating windows missing in Photoshop cs6?

    Hi,
    How can I show two images open in Photoshop CS6  - next to each other?
    Going through the screen modes by pressing F like in Photoshop CS5 doesn't get me there. That screen mode with the floating windows seems to be missing.
    I need it for comparisions and for dragging layers between the two images.
    Is the floating window screen mode achievable in CS6 or how else can I put two opened images next to each other on Photoshop's workspace?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    It's so amusing: you get a new version of Photoshop and one of your well-known features is not where it used to be. Immediately an ancient fear takes over that the feature might have gone away.
    Which is, of course, never happening. There's even "sharpen" and "sharpen more" available in Photoshop.
    Bottom line: the new way of doing things are actually even better. You just need to pull the images off their tabs.

  • Having screen rendering / memory problems with Microsoft Outlook 2013 and full screen mode with large 2560x1440 dual monitors

    MS Outlook 2013 seems to work fine for a while until a) enough time passes or b) I have multiple MS Outlook windows open. Then I start to see all sorts of graphical issues ranging from certain parts of the outlook window not rendering to certain functions
    locking etc.  Occassionally, when I decrease from full screen I get the screens to render correctly, making me think there's something unique with full screen mode that is causing the issue.   There seems to me to be quite a bit of memory issues
    with this version. 
    I have a beast of a graphics card, 32gb of RAM, and a fast SSD, so don't think its the machine. 
    Thoughts?

    Hi,
    Does this happen to other applications?
    If it's specific to Outlook, consider to check the hardware acceleration option:
    Go to FILE tab -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Disable hardware graphics acceleration, turn this option on or off to check the result.
    If the issue persists, please also consider whether any 3rd-party add-ins are interfering with Outlook, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    If there's no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which caused the problem.

  • Problem with screen re-draw in full screen mode on secondary screen.

    Hello all, using dual monitors , when I enter full screen mode (no window container) on the secondary screen (not the palette screen) panning the image using the hand tool, the screen has a delayed redraw of the image. It is "re-tiling" the image like it is out of memory...even happens on small jpeg files. Doesn't happen in "windowed" modes , and doesn't happen at all on main screen in all modes. I have re-installed Photoshop and checked permissions and disks, trashed preferences, still same. Any thoughts? iMac with mini dvi out, cs3 4 gb ram os10.6.5.

    You are coding in a rather rococo style:
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
        Component src = (Component) evt.getSource();
        Point location = src.getLocationOnScreen();
        location.translate(evt.getX(), evt.getY());
        currentMouseLocation = location;
    }

  • 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?
