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.

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.

[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 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

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.

Full screen mode PDF created on Mac not working on PC?

I've created a PDF presentation on a Mac in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional with about 80 pages. I've set it to open in full screen mode when viewed, which works fine on Mac when tested. When opened on a PC however, in my clients corporate environment, it does not work? Has anyone else come across this problem or have any suggestions to remedy it? Could it be something to do with the system it is being opened on blocking full screen mode?

Check this out in Acrobat help type : Full Screen Mode
look at the following topics:
Defining initial View as Full Screen Mode
Defining initial View
It appears Fullscreen mode is based on OS Specifications So you need to reopen on a PC version of Acrobat and set it again.
Looks like they could have both settings in both programs that is a Line that says set full screen mode for Mac PC Unix Linux set for all.

Full screen mode with two displays ?

I use a second Apple Display with my iMac. When you enter into "full screen" with an app with Lion does it only become full screen on one of your displays leaving the other screen un-effected? Or, does it black out the other screen?
When you are in full screen mode can you place windows from the full screen app on the other display that is not in full screen mode?
Thanks.
Eli

@captfred.
I'm still running 10.6.
I find it strange that iPhoto 8.1 has the ability to enter full screen without disabling or effecting the other display. You can even take a separate iphoto window, the effects window for example, and drag it to the other display. All while in full screen mode. Does this functionality disappear in Lion?
Is this behavior app specific?

Full screen mode and the tab key: how to ignore invisible UI elements

Hi there,
When Mozilla is in windowed mode, the tab key moves between the page content, which is great. However, when it reaches the end of the page, it then goes to the tab bar, the address bar, the search bar, something I can't figure out, and only then back to the page content.
When Mozilla is in full screen mode, it does the same thing, even though none of the UI elements (such as the menu bar et al) are actually visible.
So my question is this: is there a way to disable tab from going to the UI elements when FF is in full screen mode? If not, is there a way to disable this entirely?

You have to change the cursor focus.
What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11.<br />
For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

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

Full screen mode with VB

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a small MS Access database for maintaining and displaying spareparts.
I have two ActiveX-controls with "Adobe PDF Reader " in the OLE-property.
I have already managed to display the PDFs needed there. Now I need to access the "open in full screen mode" - property in the PDF-documents, so they are displayed without any bars etc.
I have linked the AcroPDF.dll but I did't find a solution with it.
The users of the database will only have the Acrobat Reader on their systems.
Thanks for your help in advnace
Regards
Roman

Hello,
thanks for your replies.
The Acobat SDK is available on the machines where the PDF-files are linked to the database.
With "PDdoc.SetPageMode 1" I have already eliminated the bookmarks in my Active-X-control.
But is it also possible to set the "open with fullscreen"- or "open fit to with"-parameter in the documnets options?
I just found solutions with a java-script in the document.
Thanks & regards
Roman

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 zoom tools

With a PDF that defaults to opening in Full Screen mode, is it possible to make the zoom in and out tools show by default so that the user doesn't have to use keyboard shortcuts?

CtDave,
I already considered doing that, but some pages are quite long which means I'd need maybe 3 pairs of zoom buttons on those pages so that they would still be visible as the user is scrolling. That adds a lot of clutter. I was hoping there was a way to give users a 'floating' zoom in/out bar that would be available as they scrolled down through the page, similar to the navigation buttons that can be made visible in full screen mode if turned on in preferences.

How to use full screen mode in Windows Media Player (activex)

I am trying to write a LV program to display video "full screen" using a WindowsMediaPlayer control (in LabVIEW 8). Is this not possible? When I run the code I get an error:
Error -2147418113 occurred at Property Node
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Under LV 7.1 with DSC installed I get the same error code (-2147418113) but "explain error" gives me this.
"LabVIEW DSC: (Hex 0x8000FFFF) Catastrophic failure."
This prompts the question is it possible to set an activeX object running in a container for Full Screen.
This is probably a Q for MS.
If it look like it is possible, try to get a VB example and that will tell us what we have to do to make this work.
