How do I make the windows full screen?

I would like my windows in Safari and other programs to run full screen - I mean I paid for 24" not 19" lol. I tried the green button it didn't work. I just unboxed it a couple of hours though so obviously I'm very new to this.

This actually brings up a fairly good point: only a tiny subset of web sites are intended to be seen at the full width of a 24" monitor! Human beings are very poor at reading comprehension when confronted with incredibly wide lines of text.
It's even worse if the web site is a fixed width, as most are nowadays: why would you want a Safari window to display huge swaths of blank background to the left and right of the content? Instead, I'd use the space to keep an eye on your mail program in a separate window, watch your buddy list in your preferred IM program, etc.
If you really do want the green button to completely maximize your browser window, though, there's an easy solution: switch to Firefox 3.5. To provide consistency between the Windows and Mac versions, clicking the green button in Firefox fills the entire screen.

  • How do I make a window full screen and keep my connected monitor separate to utilize with other programs?

    I just got a MacBookPro and have an external monitor connected to it. I opened a window to full screen and the connected monitor went to a gray screen while the MBP monitor showed the program in full screen. How can I make them independant so this doesn't happen?

    Hello Azul37,
    go to your Applications folder and ctrl-click iDVD, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the drop-down menu. Next navigate to the Resources folder, find the theme, duplicate and rename it, then open the copy with the above procedure (choose Full Frame 1 for this - the other one is a bit tricky)
    Again navigate to the Resources folder and find a folder named "FullFrameTitle.pox". There are other folders inside - open them one by one until you find a TIFF file with a long name with loads of numbers and delete it. Now the grey bar for the title is gone.
    Next launch iDVD and choose your (modified) theme. Import a movie. You'll see the grey bar appear as button under the text. Go to the Settings tab in the Customize pane, select the button options and choose "Text Only". Voilà
    Note: I recommend you leave the grey bar for the buttons - it provides better on-screen visibility.
    If you are interested in tweaking your iDVD themes I recommend reading here:

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • Pop Up - how can I make the window in the backround visible?

    Hi,
    when I create a popup, the window in the background becomes unvisible as long as the popup is not closed. how can I make the background window become visible when the popup is open?  I can hardly believe, that such a basic feature is not supported. But on the other hand, I also have some problemes with the sizing of the pop up...
    Help is highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards
    Felix

    ...just found this thread. And I am not very happy about what I read. Is your system 701 or higher?

  • How to make browser window full screen after user logs on to EP

    Hi all,
    I've found some amazing iformation on this forum, I hope I'll get an answer to this one too.
    I would like to use the maximum avaialble desktop space to provide info to my client on logging on to the portal so that he need not scroll for any thing.
    What I would like to know is if there is any global setting possible within the portal so that once the user is authenticated and is being shown his worksets, he should see the browser window in full screen mode. In IE this is done thru the pressing of F11 key.
    Regards,
    Neeraj Sripuram

    You could set the following properties in the Framework page that is being used.
    1) Launch in New Window - Display in Separate window
    2) Window Features - fullscreen=yes
    Upon login this would open the portal page in a new window and set the window in fullscreen mode, (Well Theoretically).
    Try this out. Hope this helps.

  • QuickView: How can I change the default full screen width of PDFs and JPGs

    Hello,
    I am very happy with the changes on the new OSX Lion.  But I have a disappointment form QuickView.  On Snow Leopard I will hit the "Option+Space" to QuickView files (mostly pdf and jpg) on full width and just scroll up and down with the mouse or the arrow keys.  Now in Lion, when I press "Option+Space" I get the file on full height.  This does not work for me because the information on screen is too small and I end up having to open the file on Preview.
    How can I change this settings so they are like on Snow Leopard?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
    .ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
    You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
    It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
    If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

  • How I can disable the option "Full Screen Multimedia"?

    I am creating a PDF that contains a video. I need to disable the option "full multimedia screen" that appears when I press the right mouse button on the video.
    I am using Acrobat X PRO.
    Thanks !!

    My workaround...
    - Convert Vedio to SWF (using Media Encoder + Flash Pro or 3rd party utilities)
    - Import the SWF Video to Acrobat
    - In the "Edit SWF" -> "SWF" -> Select "Pass context menu click to SWF"
    - Assign Document Permission to lock the setting
    The playback control will pass to Flash Player, it will disable the "View in Floating Windows" and "Full Scrren MultiMedia"

  • How can I make the Windows Media player the default player for my browser.

    I cannot listen to radio station WYSL 1040 AM on the web. They say that the default player on my browser must be the Windows Media player. How do I comply with their demand?

    In Firefox it is the MIME type that determines which player is selected.
    Install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll), you only have the classic WMP plugin (Npdsplay dll)

  • How do you remove the Firefox full screen app

    I installed the full screen app to watch videos, but now I have no controls to do anything. I would like to delete the "full screen" app. This is installed on a nexus 10 running 4.2.2 jellybean.

    Is it this one: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/full-screen-252573/ Full Screen mobile]? In order to get to the menu, you might need this information from that page:
    ''To return to normal mode, press and hold on a web page (or press your device's menu button), and choose "Full screen" again.''
