How to change full screen button back?

After upgrading to Yosemite the window green button primary click now brings the window into fullscreen, I find this very annoying.
I frequently want to make a window bigger but have access to other windows too. Going fullscreen accidentally and having to go back, waiting for both animations to complete really messes up my workflow.
I know alt-click does the old behaviour, but this requires 2 hands, and doing fullscreen purposely is something I do so rarely that it should really be the alt-click action for me.
Also I know double clicking the background works too, but only in Apple apps (Safari, Terminal, Finder etc). This doesn't work on 3rd party apps, leading to a disjointed experience.
Does anybody know how to get the old behaviour back? I really hope these full screen commands become an option in Preferences.
Thanks for any help

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.

How do I make full screen button for interactive PDF

I know in Acrobat I can set the PDF to open in full screen mode. I want the PDF to open in normal view. There will be a full screen button. Click once and the PDF expands to full screen. Click again and the PDF reverts to normal size.
I wasn't sure where to post this but figured this is the place to start. Any advice on how to do this appreciated.
Here's a movie of a PDF that has the feature I'm seeking:
Full Screen Normal Screen button
Was testing the link and I see you need QT Pro to download. Here's a zip archive of the same movie for download.
Movie Download

The client (a woman's club) indicated that about half the women found the full screen annoying and the other half found normal view annoying. So I made it an option. Also, most PDFs I receive such as ID magazine have the option to view normal or full.
One thing I haven't figured out is how to get the page you're on to be highlighted. So if you go to page 5 in PDF, I would want the button for 5 to be highlighted in red. I ended up using page numbers but would like to be a bit more streamlined.
I received a PDF the other day and at the top when the page numbers and left/right arrows are, the page numbers read
FC, IFC, 1, 2, etc.,
IBC, BC. I thought that was pretty cool. I imagine it has something to do with pagination in ID. Have to see if I can figure that out.

How do i add a Full Screen Button?

Hi guys,
I have used Quicklime X - File > Save for Web option to upload a video to my web site.
This gave me a Java Script player and code to embed into my site, i have all the files running local on my server and the videos works well.
My problem is that there is no full screen button on this player...
Dose anyone know where i could find some code to add a full screen button to this player?
I cant imagine it being to hard... but my knowledge of java is very limited.
Thanks for your help
Alex

Despite the similarity in names, Java and JavaScript are separate languages. For embedding Flash players or controls in web pages, you would be using JavaScript.

How do I code a full screen button?

I need to code a full screen button for a SWF. I've tried a few ways but I can't get it to work.
Here's my Action Script:
function goFullScreen():void
    if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    else
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    fsb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleClick)
    function _handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    goFullScreen();
Here's my html:
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />
Any help with this would be greatly appriciated. I've tried online tutorials and code snippets but none of them work. It's only a few lines of code but I can't seem to get this feature to work.
Thanks,
David

How do I add a full-screen button to mp4 videos?

I am making a multi-screen HTML 5 help project. We want to add videos. Right now the videos are mp4, but really we could convert them to anything. I want the videos to appear on the page at a nice small specified size. That I can do. However, I want the user to be able to expand the video to a boarderless full-screen size, similar to Youtube videos. I can't find any option to add a full-screen button to the video player. Can it be done in Robohelp? Do I have to buy an external video player?
Thanks.

Why No Picture When Full Screen Button Is Pressed?

When I open up IPhoto all the thumbnails load OK. Yesterday I tried to show my grandson some of his younger pictures taken 3 years ago by hitting the Full Screen button. What we saw was a dotted frame with an exclamation mark inside. To my dismay many of my older pictures display the same thing. How do I solve this problem?

If you deleted pictures then you moved and altered things. Then rebuilding won't work.
You'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
You do everything in the iPhoto Window - there is simply never a need to do anything in the iPhoto Library Folder. Ever.
To delete pics: in the iPhoto Window put them in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. This removes pics from the Library and the HD.

Full screen button in MS Word for Mac 2011?

Does anyone know how to add the full screen button (two diagonal arrows in the top right hand corner of most apps) to MS Word for Mac 2011? I don't want to use full screen mode. I just want to get Word to fill the screen without manual adjustment.

I recently had my hard drive replaced and had to reinstall Microsoft 2011. I know for a fact that I had the diagonal arrows before and now they are gone. I have searched high and low on how to get them back on with no luck.

Adding full screen button to DW Flash video?

When I finish a project, I take the video out of Apple Compressor as a .flv file. I then take this and drag it into an HTML file in DreamWeaver. This brings up the "Insert FLV" window, where I can choose some controls, set auto play, etc. None of the preset controls has a "full screen" button. I'm looking for a way to add this functionality to our web site. Are there either 1) other controls templates that I can download that have this built in or 2) an easy way to add full screen fuctionality to that already existing template? Bear in mind I know little about using the Flash program itself, but I have and I will if I need to manually edit something. Ideally, there would be just some other template that I can download to do this kind of thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl

Thanks for the reply.
I've already thought of YouTube, but our organization's filter occasionally blocks YouTube content, therefore it's unreliable for us to use for our internal viewers (we are a school district)
Your Option 2 doesn't work for us because we don't want to open and use Flash each time we embed something. Our workflow is quick now because it comes right from compressor and goes right to DreamWeaver. The ONLY drawback is that we can't make it full screen, which is what I"m trying to rectify. I don't want to add another program/step into the mix here.
Ideally, the solution to this would be a place I can download a "plugin" template for Dreamweaver to add more options to the drop down list when I add the flv to the web page, that would of course include a full screen button. The other option would be a resource I can use to figure out how to modify the existing Flash settings to use Flash to make a full screen button on that.
Ideas?
Thanks

How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1

How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1.Please help me

Haha .. I have seen one million post on this issue since 7.1 was released. Everybody hates it and it is perhaps Apple's stupidest design decision. I, personally, happen to like it ... or not mind it as much either way, I should say.
But that's not what you asked ... Apple thought it was best for some odd reason to change the full screen pics to an itty bitty circle. As a previous poster said, it cannot be changed. But be sure to go to Apple's feedback website and let them know you are unhappy about it. I sense an iOS 7.1.1 coming out REAL soon!

How disable the full screen option in the standard or wireframe video player ?

I was wondering if (and how) it's possible to just disable the full screen option in the controls that appear below the video player (standard or wireframe).
I want to have a video player with the progression bar, play / pause options, the counter without the full screen option because: "When someone clicks the Full Screen button during playback, the video opens in a pop-up window. Any interaction used to transition to a new state in the application does not work."

I don't think so from within Flash Catalyst. That is all part of the component. I took a quick look at the docs, and did not see that element at as a parameter. There are only two options I can think of: either build a custom controller in Flash Catalyst (which may not have all the same functionality as the stock controller) or take your project into Flash Builder and modify the controller skin there.

Why is the full screen button missing in iPhoto11 after Lion upgrade?

I upgraded to iPhoto11 with Snow Leopard with no problems. Loved the new look and full screen view. Now that i've installed LION iPhoto appears to have reverted back to the iPhoto 09 look. For example, the full screen tab is missing.... WTH???

I think the problem is that the full-screen button has been moved in the Lion apps. In Snow Leopard it used to be the bottom left, in Lion it is in the top right corner. Is it there in your case?

How to exit full screen mode mail message

Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode. The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it.
In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen. When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out. If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected. I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option?
Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find? I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages. This started this morning.
Can anyone help?
I do not know how it got into full screen mode. It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns.
How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore. So i have had my struggles with Mail. Trying to get through it. This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions. Sort of Microsoft-like.
I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

How to change the screen field text in runtime

Hi ,
I want to change the screen button text in runtime IN ABAP dynpro screens. if anybody know this please post some helpful answer
Regards,
Anil kumar G

Hi Anil..
We can change the Text of a Pushbutton dynamically.
For this:
1. Declare a Global variable with the Same name as the Button in TOP include
Eg:   Data: Button1(30).
2. In the PBO module of the Screen assign the Text to this variable:
   Eg:
    Module set_text OUTPUT.
        Button1 = 'This is the text'.
    ENDMODULE.
