How to enable full screen mode by default?

How do I enable full screen mode in apps by default?

There is no mechanism in the OS for that.
Some apps will reopen the mode you left them.

  • Here is how to enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Apps

    I just discovered that with a very simple native extension method, I can enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Applications.
    This gets you the full screen icon in the top right, and it works perfectly with no changes to my code. (Obviously only works on Lion and above, since this is a Lion feature)
    Enjoy.
    Here's the code:
        FREObject _EnableFullScreenMode(FREContext ctx, void* functionData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
            //We should be okay to do this, even on 10.6, according to this post:
            //http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/311124-implementing-full-screen-for-10-7-but-app-should-also-run-on-10-6.html
            //We can't use [NSApp mainWindow] - didn't appear to work
            //This seems to though:
            NSArray * allWindows = [NSApp windows];
            if (allWindows.count > 0)
                NSWindow *mainWindow = [allWindows  objectAtIndex: 0];
                NSWindowCollectionBehavior behavior = [mainWindow collectionBehavior];
                behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
                [mainWindow setCollectionBehavior:behavior];
            //TODO: Return a boolean instead depending on if we found the main window
            return NULL;

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

  • How to enter full screen mode in email?

    Can we enter full screen mode when reading an email in landscape mode? I can see safari has already provide this feature. It is really useful for reading  wide pages using iPhone 5 with a longer screen. But I don't know how to use this feature for email. In landscape mode, there are 2 email menus plus the system bar, which occupy too many screen. Any idea on how to enter full screen mode?
    Thanks.

    Ok, hope this will be added in the next release.

  • Can anyone tell me how to exit full-screen mode in mail?

  • How to exit full screen mode while playing a presentation in Keynote '09

    Hi, my question is: when I play a presentation it starts by default in full screen mode; I would like instead to see it in a little box, in order to be able to take notes on another file; how can I do that?

    When playing Keynote will indeed take over the full screen -- there is no option for playing a presentation in a window. However, in the Preferences, under Slideshow, there is an option to enable Expose, which will allow you to switch between a running Keynote presentation and other applications.

  • 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 end full screen mode in screen sharing, how to end full screen mode in screen sharing

    I inadvertently hit the 2 little arrows invoking full screen mode while in the screen sharing app. I can't get out of it now, and returned to the windowed mode. Help says to click the 2 little arrows, but I'm not being given 2 little arrows to click.
    I see the screen sharing window, no border, against what looks like a background of denim.
    pressing esc does nothing.
    thanks for clues!

    When you move your cursor to the top of the screen the local mac's menu bar will appar out of hiding. The "two arrows" you're looking for are in a blue button on the right hand side of this menu bar.

  • Open new Finder windows in full screen mode by default

    I'd like for new finder windows to open full-screen by default.
    I have found that, if I have no finder windows open, opening a new finder window always defaults to a non-full-screen window.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    System Preferences > General
    Uncheck the box beside “Close windows when quitting an application”.

  • How to Enable Full Screen Viewing?

    Hi
    I want to upload flv files to my website. I have got it worling fine - insert media - flv - progressive download - etc. When I view the file in the testing server it does not have the option to "view in full screen" which I need as I want to keep the preview windows small and have several videos on the one page. Is there code I need to enter in addition to that generated by Dreamweaver? I'm not familiar with Flash Pro or Media Encoder but I do have access to them if t makes the whole process easier. Thanks in advance

    I know I posted this in the Flash forum but I'm not actually using Flash Pro as I don't have a 64bit computer. Dreamweaver CS5 doesn't have any skins with fullscreen options. What should I be doing to the file before uploading it? I have access to most Adobe products if you can point me in the right direction.
    Cheers

  • How to use full screen mode in Windows Media Player (activex)

    I am trying to write a LV program to display video "full screen" using a WindowsMediaPlayer control (in LabVIEW 8).  Is this not possible?  When I run the code I get an error:
    Error -2147418113 occurred at Property Node
    This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Under LV 7.1 with DSC installed I get the same error code (-2147418113) but "explain error" gives me this.
    "LabVIEW DSC:  (Hex 0x8000FFFF) Catastrophic failure."
    This prompts the question is it possible to set an activeX object running in a container for Full Screen.
    This is probably a Q for MS.
    If it look like it is possible, try to get a VB example and that will tell us what we have to do to make this work.

  • How to start in Full Screen mode

    Hi. How can I make my flash site load in Full Screen mode by
    default (using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4)?
    Thanks

    > by default (using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4)?
    The security features of Flash Player are specifically
    configured to
    keep this from happening. The idea is to avoid someone being
    able to trick
    the end user into thinking s/he is using a fullscreen app, or
    something
    other than Flash. Note, for example, that unless you're
    developing for AIR,
    full screen mode disables keyboard input:
