Hide Control panel in full screen mode

Today I installed Quicktime Pro on an XP Pro platform (IBM Thinkpad) fully updated. I ran a quicktime ".mov" movie. I was unable to hide the control panel, despite selecting "hide after 2 seconds" in Edit\Preferences\Quicktime Player\. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime Pro. No change. No one at Apple can help me. This is for my mother's memorial service and I am very frustrated. Any ideas?

Perhaps I was not clear. The control panel is what I am calling the on screen panel that controls the Play, Stop, Pause, Reverse, Forward functions of Quicktime. That panel does not automatically hide when it is set in Edit/Preferences to hide after some period of time (seconds). Further, not all the hot keys function. I deinstalled and reinstalled. No remedy. Bottom line - no one at Apple could help and I am disappointed and hoping Apple will refund my money. My PC OS is fully updated.

How To Make Screen Controls Disappear In Full Screen Mode?

I downloaded Quicktime 7.2 and even though I have selected Edit/Preferences/Player Preferences/Full Screen and under Controls, Display Full Controls, Hide after 2 seconds -
When I am watching a video in full screen mode, for example the latest Keynote Address by Steve Jobs, the control panel which accesses Stop/Pause/Fast Forward etc., does not disappear regardless of how long I wait. Additionally the mouse pointer does not disappear either.
I have to move the mouse pointer off the screen and/or move the Control Panel all the way down out of the way for it not to be visible.
If I Deselect the "Display Full Screen Controls", then of course the controls do not appear, however the mouse still stays on the screen in full screen mode.
How do I correct this. The Windows Media Player functions perfectly when I watch movies in full screen - controls disappear and so does the mouse. If I move the mouse, they reappear then disappear again after a few seconds.
Any advice in correcting this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, this is annoying, however I'm glad you 2 guys finally posted. This is what I've found out so far. If you delete the .plst file (do a search for for it), it appear that it will be recreated again by Quicktime. That cured the problem with the Control Panel disappearing after the preset time set in preferences. However, the pointer will not disappear. I tried to uninstal and reinstall and also view different movies, but it will not disappear.
So give that a shot and see if that resolves 50% of the problem. In Media Player, the control panel and pointer disappear in Full Screen mode. In Quicktime there seems to be a quirk. I've searched on this forum, but have not been able to find any other threads that indicatd a resolution to this issue. So let's hope that someone does or that Apple figures out the problem and issues an updated version for this.
There was a new update that I received over the past few days and I was hoping this would resolve this issue, but it didn't.
I've also read here that going to Windows Safe Mode and activating QT, watching a movie, then going back to normal mode fixes some issues. I've tried that too, but the pointer just will not disappear.
I've tried disabling the Control Panel and then it won't appear at all, but the mouse pointer always does and the only way is to move it physically off the screen. When you move it the Control Panel will appear for a few seconds, then disappear again.
Try these things out and comment on what you discover.

How to view the program panel in full screen mode?

I know how to make the program panel full screen using the "~" key, but I would like to view my work completely without borders. Similar to using Quicktime or Windows media player. I can't imagine that this feature doesn't exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This feature is new to CS6. Hit ctrl+` (ctrl+grave).

Autohide flvplayback controls in full screen mode

Does anyone know how to autohide the playback controls ONLY
in full screen mode? I'd like them to always be visible when
"minimized", but would like them to fade away after entering fsm.
Many thanks in advance

I would like to do just the opposite. It seems that when I
enter Fullscreen mode using the FLVPlayback component the controls
I have created are hidden and the component takes up the full
screen. I would like my controls to remain visible.

I need to remove "minimize, maximize, close" buttons on full screen mode

I can remove all buttons (like refresh, back, forward, address bar, etc..) but the little right 3 buttons "minimize, maximize, close" i cant remove, how can i make with userChrome.css or other option.
Because i can close firefox exiting from fullscreen and clicking on archive menu with "Alt" key.
I dont wanna this little 3 buttons, that i can hide and show permanent.
I hope explain me correctly
Thanks a lot

Add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.

<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#window-controls { display:none!important; } /* hide window controls in full screen mode */

Annoying single page view in full screen mode

I have checked the “Enable Scrolling” in the “View/Page Display” menu to have a continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) and avoid page bouncing when moving from the bottom of a page to the top of the next page. It works as expected when in windowed mode but not in full screen mode.
- Why isn’t it possible to have continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) when in full screen mode? It is as if Adobe Reader disregards the “View/Page Display” menu preferences and always reverts to “Single Page View” when in full screen mode!
- Also it would be nice to have an option to display a vertical scroll bar to the extreme right of the screen in full screen mode to be able to quickly scroll the document.
These two features are the primary ones that make me still using Foxit-Reader instead of Adobe Reader albeit Foxit-Reader has a lower PDF rendering quality.

I have same problem.
In Full Screen Mode , most functions are *NOT* working. For example , Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars etc. Even use keyboard shortcut , they just *NOT* working.
I am wondering is any chance to make Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars working on Full Screen Mode ?
At least , please add some keyboard shortcut to change Page Display .

How to lock bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode

I am using Flash Player with ie in Win7. It is very irritating while watching YouTube videos for the status/control lbar to keep auto-hiding. When the bar auto-hides, the pause/play position becomes the progress bar position - and a click where Pause used to be resets the video to start. How can I keep the bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode?
Thank you, Steve [email: [email protected]]

There's nothing you can do to Flash Player, itself, to prevent this from happening. Apparently, there's no way to disable via youtube, or google, either -- http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/_E5yFvNJCPk
You SHOULD be able to call up the bar by hovering the cursor at the bottom of the screen and then, after a a second or two, click on the pause button. (It shouldn't restart the video in other words.) But, if for whatever reason, this doesn't work, just click once in the center of the screen to pause the video. To restart, click the center of the screen again.

Video playback controls in full-screen mode???

I just downloaded a TV show and want to watch it full screen. Unfortunately, in full-screen mode I can't seem to figure out how to control the playback (e.g. Rewind a few seconds to hear something I missed).
I tried all sorts of keyboard shortcuts to no avail. Am I missing something?

Ba,
It may be of interest to know that streaming video codecs are designed for computers of a specific age (CPU and GPU speeds).
DVD quality streams MPEG-2 compression at about 10 Mbits/sec, and the older MPEG-1 compression, designed for NTSC television, streams at about 2 Mbits/sec. At 10 Mbits/sec, the processor must work faster to decompress & display the image. The latest compressions are based on MPEG-4. Even a G3 iBook could display MPEG-4 full screen; so I don't think you need a faster GPU.
Microsoft codecs & containers, the last time I checked, were ancient: based upon MPEG-2. So, check your speed:
DSL Reports speed tests
http://www.dslreports.com/stest
If you use Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11n is fastest.
Increase the cache size for your codec, if you can. It needs to be contiguous, so I dare to recommend iDefrag 2 (US$30) to clean your remaining disk space and obtain about 20 GB of contiguous space. Video display uses many operating system files, which are likely not fragmented; but you can also de-fragment the Windows codec if it lies in over 100 fragments. (The Spotlight database usually has over 1000 fragments; but pauses in it don't affect one's pleasure in using it.)
My low-resolution DVD is interpolated by my graphics card, and look beautiful at maximal resolution. Streaming graphics apparently isn't programmed to interpolate low resolution: it demands high resolution and high bandwidth.
If you can't increase the cache in WMP, you can lower the resolution of your monitor. That may be why this System Preference was designed to sit on the desktop's top bar.

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

WebBrowser Control - Full Screen mode detection

Hi there,
I know that this is not the right place to ask, I read this also "Where to post your
VB 6 questions", sorry about that... :(
I already posted my question on VBForum, DreamInCode and StackOverflow about 1 months ago, but no one answered to my question.
I'm trying to detect full screen mode with WebBrowser Control in VB6...
When the video is loaded into WebBrowser Control and you Double click on video then it's goes Full screen mode and if you Double click again it goes back to normal view mode.
Loading the Html file and Navigate:
Code:
WebBrowser1.Navigate App.Path & "\example.htm"
Here is the htm file called "example.htm" to load into WebBrowser Control:
Code:
<html><body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" scroll="no"> <iframe width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xtYIEBOQ1eQ?rel=0&autoplay=1" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" frameborder="0"></iframe></body></html>
Now I wish to detect those events!
p.s. I already tried to use:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_OnFullScreen(ByVal FullScreen As Boolean)
Form1.Caption = CStr(FullScreen)
End Sub
But, it's nothing to do with Full screen what I'm trying to achieve.
(Also tried the Microsoft HTML Object Library, but nothing there useful)
Can someone help me out?
Kind regards

Hi,
I am afraid that as you read the thread

I would recommend you focus on the threads you have posted in the other forums, and perhaps

Dock won't hide in full screen mode

When editing pictures in full screen mode, the dock does not disappear. I don't think it's always been this way -- I could swear that it used to disappear, which is what I want it to do. With the way it is now, i have to manually hide the dock in order to get to the bottom picture editing toolbar.
Perhaps the issue is unrelated to iPhoto, because whenever I change a dock setting by right-clicking in the space bewteen the left and right parts of the dock, I have to choose the option twice before the setting sticks.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Alan
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems like a Dock issue rather than an iPhoto one. Does it also happen with other full-screen apps: for instance, with iTunes Visualiser in Full Screen mode?
What might be worth trying is to trash the com.apple.dock.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to log out and back in. This will reset the dock to the out-of-the-box settings. You'll need to make your settings again.

Full Screen Mode(s) & Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes???

I use PS7 but am going to train some folks on PS Elements 8. I cannot find PSE8's equivalent of the F key "Full Screen Modes" command or the Tab key "Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes". PLEASE tell me there IS some way to do these two things in PSE8!!!!!
- Brian

Uh, yes, don't I feel dumb. Maybe since I always seem to use the Tab key in conjunction with the F key command for Full Screen Modes I didn't realize the Tab key didn't work in PSE8 just fine. At least that's my newbie excuse, and I'm sticking with it. Thanks! Next time I promise I'll TRY something before I ask about it. (I'm kinda stressing this training I need to do soon.)
Now HOW to use the keyboard shortcuts for Full Screen mode??? Anyone???

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

Receiving phone call will in full screen mode

There's an annoying problem with the new continuity function for receiving phone call on Yosemite.
Let's see i'm watching a video in full screen mode, then i receive a phone call, the video Hide itself (Mission Control) but did not pause.
So if i answer the call, i still have the sound from the video, and i have to go in Mission Control (yes i'm using shortcut) to show the application to pause it.
First i would like the video to pause if i answer the call, and if not it disappear without hiding my video.
I would like to have the same notification has the Messages, when i receive and SMS or iMessage, there's a small notification rectangle that appear over the video and disappear after few second.
Both Message and FaceTime have the same settings in the Notification System Preference.
I've tried everything that i know, made some research on the internet with no luck.
I've tried that on 3 different macs (Mac Pro 2008 with upgraded Bluetooth card, MacBook pro Retina and Mac Mini) using iTunes, Quicktime, VLC and Safari for viewing full screen video.

Check the software/game settings
