Full Screen Support?

I usually borrow books through eLibraries Manitoba to read on Adobe Digital Edition. The most painful part of reading books on Adobe Digital Edition is the lack of full screen support like the one that comes with Adobe Reader and even Kindle reader. Full screen makes your reading experience so much more comfortable and you are able to focus on the material than the UI. Is there any plan to bring full screen support in 1.8?

RE: Full Screen Support, Has it been implemented yet?
I fully agree that full screen support is vital to reading on a MacBook (or any sort of personal computer) for the reasons stated.
I would add that this is natively the case with Zinio's reader, Apple Pages, Ipad, etc.
May I ask if Full Screen Support been implemented yet? Regards, Graham.

[DUPLICATE] Possibility to disable OSX Lion native full screen support?

The newly implemented (v14.0.1 as far as I can tell) support for native OSX Lion fullscreen supports makes it very useless in a multi monitor setup. The old full screen support let me use the fullscreen for Firefox (and not letting window widgets get in the way) and continue using other applications on the other screens.
Is it possible to disable the OSX Lion full screen support? Otherwise I think it would be a welcome addition to the next update.

Possibility to disable OSX Lion native full screen support?

The newly implemented support (in v14.0.1 as far as I can tell)) for native OSX Lion full screen support makes fullscreen pretty useless in a multi monitor setup. With the previous version it was possible to continue using the other monitors for other tasks.
Is it possible to disable the support in some way to actually have useful fullscreen support again, i.e. the way it worked before v14.0.1? Otherwise such an option is needed in my opinion.

I've built a simple addon that does just that: reverts the old pre-14 Fullscreen behavior. It isn't yet reviewed, so wouldn't show in searches until approved.

Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support, Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support

Hi,
I ran into a few things related to using my Bootcamp MacBook Pro 15” 2011 that I purchased 2012Mar. Having issues on the Mac side, with an external monitor. I bought a ViewSonic VX2753mh LED monitor, hooked it up to my laptop, started in Mac OS and seemed to be going good, able to get 1080p, 1920x1080 res on the monitor even though the 2011 MacBook doesn’t have that resolution on the actual attached screen. BUT, the Viewsonic started to intermittently turn off and back on, in addition when I tried to play a movie (or even a slideshow) in full screen (not mirrored), so that I could surf and watch the movie or slideshow, the full screen version of either would be placed back on my laptop screen while the external monitor had a generic grey with vertical lines screensaver pop up, or vica versa. If I played the movie in a small screen it was ok. Have heard a lot of issues with “flickering”. As for the application situation, maybe that’s something I don’t know about yet since I’m new to Mac. Can I play something like slideshow or a movie in full screen on an external monitor while I surf or type on the laptop monitor? Any ideas on either issue?
Thanks in advance !!!

Ok, so I solved my full screen problem with VLC, both slideshows of my pics running full screen on external moniter while I work on laptop, and with movies, still getting my external monitor flickering on and off, other threads stop around May, is there anything new ?

Not able to view in Full Screen

I bought Quicktime Pro to get full screen support, however, none of the downloads I get from Websites show in full screen when they are sent in Quicktime format. They all show in the tiny box, just like they did with the free Quicktime. (I installed FlipforMac so I could watch WMV files, I have to use command-F key every time to get full screen for WMV files.)
This is NOT very elegant for either type of files, surely, this is not how viewing video clips should work. I come from a Microsoft background and am trying to enjoy this MAC, but it is not easy. Please help me understand how I should properly set this MAC up to view clips from the Internet.
Thanks in advance.

Full screen playback has been part of the "free" Player since version 7.2 and there was no need to purchase Pro for that feature.
Web based file display is controlled by the page author and they can allow full screen display if they want. One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
If the page author wants to display at 320X240 that is what QuickTime will show. You would have to find a "direct" link to the QuickTime file and open it using the "Open URL" feature (File menu) to get full screen viewing.

7.4 changed my full screen view of videos

I updated to iTunes 7.4 this morning after realizing most of the new features are useless to me who has no iPod or iPhone, but I did see mention of full screen support (and couldn't remember if that was new or not.)
I played a couple of videos going from command-0 to command-3 and then command-F and back again, getting inconsistent results (ending up with command-F giving me a small video view in an entirely black background.
Not only that, the thumbnail for one of my videos, changed from its former image to a solid green screen, (although the video still plays when clicked on.)
I went back to my daughter's PC with iTunes 7.3.2.6 and noted that I have complete control of the same videos from the command-0 setting all the way to command-F (full screen view) and back and forth without weirdness.
Anyone else note similar quirks with 7.4 full screen support?

Well, I have solved part of my problem - in Preferences>Playback, I changed "Play movies and TV shows" and "Play music videos" to "in a separate window" and the sizing issue seems to have settled down. Command-F seems to have a toggle action.
Choosing Command-0, command-1, command-2, command-3 steps up from smallest size to "fit to screen" size and then command-F takes you to full screen mode. but hitting command-F again then takes you back to "double size (command-2) although the menu shows View>Fit to screen command-3 as selected. Weird.
Choosing one of the other selections, say double size (command-2) repeatedly just sets that size on the first attempt and then on later repeats of command-2 it just flashed the "View" menu item without toggling to another size (and continues to display View>Double size command-2 as it should.
So the remaining question I guess is how to get my thumbnail view back from the green screen. How is that image selected anyway? It doesn't appear to be the first frame of the video necessarily.
And here I am back later editing this after reading the iTunes Help stuff. I fixed this by control-clicking on the frame I liked and then selecting "Set Poster Frame" from the dropdown.
So overall, not much to complain about other than the weirdness with video sizing and command-F

T42 Vista and Full screen video

How can I enjoy full screen video when viewing videos from myspace,youtube and so on I get no full screen support how can this be done?

If there are other applications for wich you might use flash, you should keep flashplugin installed. You can use /etc/chromium/default to append some flags to tell chromium to use the pepper-flash plugin instead. In fact, I think that the chromium-pepper-flash package might actually do this for you in the install scripts.

[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

RDWA - limit to one monitor full screen for IT support staff

In our shop, we use RDWA to access the Windows 7 virtual desktops, server is Windows Server 2012.
Since IT support staff have two monitors, when they login to user's virtual desktop for testing / support purpose, the display will be spanned across two monitors. We want to keep the user's virtual desktop in one monitor and use the other monitor
to other purpose, e.g. searching internet for problem resolution, email, etc.
Is there a way to restrict the virtual desktop to show up full screen in just one monitor.
I have searched the forum but seems not getting the answer.
Assistance appreciated.

Hi TP,
Thanks for your reply.
In your previous response, you mentioned there are other methods for IT support staff to connect to the user's virtual desktop.
>> "How exactly are they using it to connect to a Windows 7 VM? Are they using the Connect to remote PC tab and entering the name of the VM, or do they have access to the same virtual desktop collection as the user, or are they
logging on to RDWeb using the end user's credentials, or ?"
May I know how the other connection methods can be achieved?
Thanks for your advise.

This is happening while working in the balck screen and using shortkut Keys for top menu. the tools are woring, but while using Alt Key to choosing the menu item. its not supporting. like the older vesions
please answer me

Can you please be a little more clear about what you expect it to do vs. what it's doing.
Are you using the "Full Screen With Menus" mode or the complete "Full Screen" mode? I just tried the "Full Screen With Menus" mode and was able to use the Alt key to initiate menu operations.

Firefox mac osx version does not support mac-Lion os full screen window mode. When will you bring this?

In macbook pro with lion os apple gives a full-screen-mode icon in the top right corner of the window, which will be used to open that view in different window. But firefox does not support this. Even chrome supports it.
When will you bring this feature to firefox?. Currently I am in firefox 8.0.1

No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Mac OS 9.2 Not in full screen

Hi,
I just bought iBook G3 800Mgz from ebay, to run Mac OS 9 with old apps to open some old documents.
However, the iBook G3 work prefect with Mac OS 9.2.2 & Mac OS 10.4.11 ..
just one problem that Mac OS 9 doesn't run in full screen !!
I prefer to startup from full OS 9 rather than running as a classic sys under Tiger or Jaguar OS, ..
When I startup from OS 9, the startup operation work normally full screen with Mac OS 9 logo window appear for 2 second, then the screen becomes small during the startup processing, and the OS 9 continue complete the startup with the same size.
After several trailing to solve the issue but without effects, I discover where is the problem but can not fix it .. the problem with OS 9 feeling there are external monitor so it gives for that monitor full 1024x768, and on iBook screen 640x480 .. I found this on control strip with monitor control panel, also when I run the monitor control panel it's give me two windows, a window for each display !!
The picture below explain more with I mean .. OS 9 desktop with half size of screen and center of the display.
it's exactly same thing happen when you connect your mac with projector, even your screen support until 1280x800 for example, but the projector just 800x600, you will see your desktop on your laptop decrease with a large black frame ..
Now, with all my discretion, I didn't figure out where is the problem that push my iBook feel there is another monitor .. I tried remove some extensions and reset prm but no effect.
Please help and Thanks in Advance.

Hi, asulaiti -
Now I figure out what's the problem, I tried to remove Display Preferences & Monitors Preferences files. But nothing change.
I thought that would probably not help. The problem is with some of the specific files (probably extensions) that are needed by the hardware on your iBook G3 - the ones you have are intended to support different hardware, hardware that is specific to the other model.
You will need to replace the applicable files with ones compatible with your machine. Two ways to do this -
• Locate someone who can furnish you with copies of those files. I don't know for sure, but I suspect they would include all extensions whose name starts with ATI.
• Re-install the OS 9.2.2, using an original disk set intended for your model. As I mentioned previously, this may be difficult to find. A retail (or universal) OS 9.2.2 Install CD was never released; the only install CDs for OS 9.2.2 are model-specific ones.
As far as sources go, you might check with an Apple User Group - most large cities and universities have one. This Apple support page may help in that regard -
http://www.apple.com/usergroups/
You may be able to find an appropriate disk set on places like eBay, but chances of doing so are slim - and you need to be careful that you get what you need.
You might also check back with the seller of that machine - ask them for the original disk set for it (that disk set really belongs with the machine).

Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
I hope that someone can help me with this!!

Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?

In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
