How to automatically open applications in full screen?

In Mountain Lion, I will almost always put any applications into full screen. Is there anyway to make them automatically go into full screen, right when you click the application icon? I just want to get rid of that extra step if I can...

If you Quit in Full Screen, it should open back up in Full Screen.
However, I don't use it at all, so my minimal testing just now might not be conclusive.

How can I run applications in full screen on my MacBook Pro?

I recently started using an external HP w1858 monitor as a secondary display with my MacBook Pro. I'm having troubles with running applications in full screen mode on the secondary display. How can I run applications in full screen mode on the secondary monitor?

If you always have the external display connected, you can configure the OS to consider it as the default or main display. Once everything is connected and set to your liking (resolution, color depth, etc.), "bless" the external display by clicking & dragging the menubar from the Mac's internal display onto the external. This only works if you are not using video mirroring.
Once this is done, applications will open by default on the external and now "main" display and you can configure them to go fullscreen or whatever.

Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen

How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen in ID 5.5?

You didn't answer the OS question, but I'm going to presume it's some version of OS X. This has been, I think, a common complaint among Mac users, but as a PC person I don't remember what exactly can be done about it, if anything. On thing you might want to try is using the Application Frame.

I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

I have the same question. This is also made more difficult as apple has taken away the handy full screen icon on the upper right hand corner.

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

How to switch to full screen faster and change between applications in full screen faster

Hi, my problem is that when I switch any application to full screen it does a little animation which spends a little time before getting to the full screen mode. The other problem is that when I change between applications in full screen mode it also does a little animation!
How can I eliminate those annoying ways of losing time?
I hope and thank very much your answers!

sure man, after all the help i got, why not give some in return...
to make it full screen on oppening i put this code on the 1st frame:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true")
i also make 2 buttons for making the screen smaller and bigger again, for both i used the following
on (release) {
fscommand("fullscreen", "false")
this is for making it smaller, and for full screen i used "true" instead of "false"
of course i added a button foe exit with the follownig code:
on (release) {
fscommand("quit")
hope i helped...

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

I suppose that you have this exception when the second window is initiated...
Excuse my remark, it may be perfectly stupid : do you have two screens? The full screen window is supposed to show itself on the user's second screen.
Or maybe the screens are not handled the same way on each computer? (I'm not used at developping applications working on two screens...)
thanks for your help

How do I view Safari in Full screen?

I am new to Mac and cant seem to find a way to view Safari and other applications in full screen - is this possible?

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing
Bee's suggestion gets you almost there, however, the Bookmarks and Tool Bars are still visible. Download/Install 3rd party add-on Glims. Once installed you'll find Glims preference settings as a separate panel in Safari Preferences. In the Full Screen panel, select the various options, then close preferences.
You'll find the Full Screen command in the Safari Menu. Selecting it opens Full Screen. If you want to revert to the normal screen, hover the cursor near the top of the monitor, The menus will reappear. Then select Safari Menu>Normal Screen.
As you are new to the Mac Platform, you'll find this page useful.

How to auto rotate Images on Full Screen Slideshow if pictures were taken mixed Portrait and Landsca

In Muse: How to auto rotate Images on Full Screen Slideshow if pictures were taken mixed Portrait and Landscape

There is no way that Muse would automatically rotate the images. What you can instruct Muse to do is whether you want to show all image content and leave blank space in either direction OR scale the image to fill the frame resulting in some cropping, but filling the otherwise blank space.
The options are Fit Content Proportionally and Fill Frame Proportionally respectively.

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app? From what I can tell, I can't see a photo full screen in iphoto. I need full screen!

A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

Start 3rd party application in full screen

I am a user of DXO Optics pro. It has a full screen option built into it. I always run this application in full screen mode. So to save on time I wonder if there is a way to ensure that every time I open it the application starts in full screen mode. I have tried a number of things like quiting in full screen and other things I have seen in prior versions of OS X to no avail.
Thanks for any pointers in advance!

Instead of trying to set the size based on your screen's resolution, why dont you try something like this:
