Is it possible to set a finder window to full screen mode,..

... like mail, itunes and other apps? and if not, why not?
I have to say it took me a bit to get used to Lion, I began complaining all day until I decided to take some time to learn it, and now I like it very much, I see the advantages over 10.6.
But still, there are some things I don't know about, and the window of opportunity to take time to learn more has closed. And I don't know when it'll open again.
So, that's why I have joined the community, because now I'm trying to use everthing on full-screen mode, and as I was setting my desktops to work on a project in which I will be needing a lot of finder windows open with a lot of items each, I instantly asked myself:
Is it possible to set the finder windows to full screen? because I don't see any buttons.
Thanks 4 Your Time

Thanks Don Archibald,
Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment. But I thought it would be nice to have the little full screen button just to press it so.
Besides, I'm still figuring out the finder windows' behaviour. I discovered that if you open a folder from a window that has the toolbar, the new folder would also open with a toolbar, even if you already had it set it up with just the status bar.
And one thing that still enervates me is that if you have a window with two items, and you press the green button to fit the borders up tight, instead of leavin' the 2 items in a horizontal arrangement, it moves one to the bottom and puts a slider. Arrgh.
Another thing I haven't understood is why one folder I have on the dock sometimes opens with a column layout instead of the icon layout I have arranged for it before. Totally random 4 now, can't find the why.
Anyway... I'm going to order some lapel pins about 2 flags I designed for two embassies. Anyone know a good place for doing that?

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”.

Any idea how to open this window in full screen?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thank and Regards
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
This FPM navigation is achieved using settings made in Launchapd Customizing ( LPD_CUST ).
a) Execute Tran LPD_CUST
b) Go to Role HAP - Double Click to open it.
c) Open the second folder on the LHS menu - there you will find 2 entries
d) Click on second entry - in the entry setting you can see that it is configured for WD Application - HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT
e) Click on button Show Advanced Parameters
f) There you will find a input box named as Window Features - here you can specify window features like
height=700,width=1100,position=center,menu=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no
save the settings come out and test ur app again.
change the height and width and other features as per ur req.

Two Second Skip Switching Between Windowed and Full Screen Modes During Playback YouTube videos

I am finding that every video I watch skips two seconds every time I switch back and forth from Full Screen mode. Happens mostly with 720p videos in YouTube.
Can be replicated by pausing the video (also possible during playback, pausing it was just to determine how long the skip is), switching to Full Screen and back, noticing the two second change on the timer.
Main operating environment is Opera browser on Windows 7 (x86), Flash ver. 11.1.102.55 and 12beta. I have also been able to replicate the problem on Internet Explorer ver. 9.0.8112.16421

I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
@Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
Update:
With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

'Pop-up to confirm' window in full screen mode

Hi Guys
In a SAP standard WDA application on clicking a link the application calls a pop-up(create_popup_to_confirm) window centered on the screen. I need to open the pop upwindow in full-screen mode. Changing/increasing size is not acceptable. Is this possible for pop-up window? If so , can you please help?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks
Pramod

hi,
I tested with parameters window_height and window_width of method create_pop_up_to_confirm and they seem to be working. I tested it on Netweaver 7.02 Release ( Maybe this feature is enabled ).
yeah Manas .. it was with Netweaver 7.01 only they r not working .. search the SAP online help
Also if you have to increase the height and widht of rootelement then you have to call method create_window to call an already existing view as Pop Up
thats fine ..
regards,
amit

Lion - Multiple windows in Full Screen Mode

Loving Lion. Loads of great new features - some features do need a bit of breaking in, but all in all I am really enjoying using it.
But...
One niggling gripe I have is with using full-screen mode. I am fishing for any better ideas or workarounds.
Generally in Full Screen mode with an app, ie iTunes, I am often creating new windows by double clicking a left-hand panel item, such as playlists or the iTunes Store. These windows jump to the foreground of the screen, but disappear behind the Full Screen window when the focus is changed. This sub-window cannot be accessed until Full Screen is de-activated and windows reastablished or moved to another space via Mission Control. A bit cumbersome, especially in a slick new interface.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Press Apple and ` to move between windows of an application. Keyboard commands are very handy when using full screen.

Is it not possible to see the styles drawer in full screen mode

I've recently upgraded to a delicious iMac 27" on Lion and am perplexed why iBook Author doesn't allow you to see the styles drawer in full screen mode.
Surely this breaks the point of using this mode of working
Would like to see this fixed in a future revision

"Full Screen Mode" in Adobe Reader XI for Windows 8 loads way too slow!

I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8, after having used Windows Vista for years. I installed Adobe Reader XI for my new computer. Before, I used Adobe Reader X on Vista. I used Adobe Reader "Full Screen Mode" to read the nice-looking Bible chapters I created with internet audio from Biblegateway.com. In Vista, the "Full Screen Mode" appeared quickly, before the audio fully started, so I could see the text in time for the reading.
However, with Windows 8, "Full Screen Mode" takes around 5-10 seconds to appear at all, and a black screen is present throughout the wait. It does the same thing when I hit "escape" to exit "Full Screen Mode" as well. I even uninstalled Adobe Reader XI from my new laptop, and tried using Adobe Reader X, even though it is not recommened by Adobe to do that on Windows 8, in order to test the speed of "Full Screen Mode" there. Adobe Reader X had the same problem! I do not know if this can be fixed, but I am pretty unhappy about it! I enjoyed the "Full Screen Mode" with my PDF chapters and the online bible audio! Finding that function for the first time with Adobe Reader X was a delight for me! It gave the reading a theater feel!
Has anyone else here had a similiar problem with "Full Screen Mode" loading way too slow on Windows 8? I am very disappointed! If this cannot be fixed by a user, is there a place to complain to Adobe and make a recommendation for software improvement? Thank you!

Setting default Finder window

Is there any way to set all Finder windows to one setting in Leopard? I like to use the old-style sidebar-less windows, but i keep having to change all new folders to this setting after creation. Anyone have an answer?

Yes, lots of other similar posts. I feel the same way, I'm having no luck getting my folders to keep their specific view settings reliably. I think there must be some kind of bug, in addition to the reconfigured (more archaic to me) view options window. Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

How to make the finder window expand to full height AND width of my screen, but not "full screen mode".

The new green button on the finder window makes the screen go into full screen takeover mode - alt clicking this makes it 100% height of the screen.
How can I make this 100% width and height (just like it used to be in Mavericks)?
I have 2 x 27" monitors, so the "full screen takeover" mode is not right as I only want the finder window to be on one monitor whilst I work on another.
Any ideas?! Thank you!

Was about to post the same question.
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite (about a month ago), this odd behavior has irked me.
Could it be that it only plagues those of us running dual displays? And therefore nobody else cares?

Full screen mode problems on Windows XP

I've added a full-screen feature to an application. Everything works fine for me. MacOS+Safari. But I another developer on my team is having problems...
He says, "In my Windows XP environment using Internet Explorer 8.0.6xxx I experience the following:
when change to full screen mode, the application does not resize. The browser clearly switched and takes entire screen by our main panel stays the same size and is displayed in the corner.
when in full screen mode no mouse activity works at all, system is unusable
sometimes I see standard message regarding using <esc> key to wexit full screen and our message regarding some keyboard functions won't work. These messages do not appear all the time."
(The second message he refers to is something I wrote, not a system message).
Apparently, if he clicks escape, the application returns to within the browser window, and everything works as normal again.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour switching to full-screen?

I just found this great site, America Free TV, for watching streaming movies. It goes to full screen mode, but after 15 minutes, it stops and reverts back to the normal size. This is the link I paste into my Quicktime to open a URL stream:
http://www.horrorfree.tv/unicast_mov/AFTVHorrorH264250.mov
Based on "site information," would conclude that the URL cited above is an H.264 file streamed as QVGA at 250 Kbps. Don't see why it would ever have been "full screen" unless you set this mode yourself or you were watching two different files and each was presented differently. In that case, I assume switching files would re-set to default dimensions. Only other thing I can think of is a "periodic scripted refresh" and have no idea if/how that would be done.
Anybody know how I can keep it from reverting to the regular screen? I can't seem to find any posts here about this particular quirk.
Believe this action would be automatic, but you can, of course, revert to "Full Screen" on your end. (I.e., Command-F or selecting "Full Screen" in View menu if watching in QT Player.)
Also, anyone know a different URL I can test to see if it is only this site and their channels?
Go to the Home Page or Index Page.

Opening a window in full screen?

Hi,
One thing that really frustrates me is that i can't find a way to open a window program in full screen mode. I always have to manually set the window to the right place since the green button with the plus on the top left corner never really helps. So is there secret button that i don't know about that should be able to do this?
Thanks.

You can only do full screen on Mac OS X Lion but you can hide the dock and drag the window from the bottom right hand corner but it will still have the menu bar, How ever if you have a dual monitor setup you can use it on full screen on the second screen that does not have the menu bar or the dock

How do I set Firefox to start on login in full screen mode and permanently disable the tool bars?

I am trying to set up a touch screen windows 7 lenovo desktop for use by older users with no prior experiance of PC's. I would like Firefox to start on login and open in full screen mode, with all toolbars disabled. Is this possible? and if so how do I go about doing this?

If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
