Is there a way to set an application to always open in full screen mode?

Some applications I would like to default to full screen on startup (iPhoto for example).  Is there a setting for that, or do I need to manually switch to full screen every time I launch it?
Thanks!

Have been searching for this as well. Mail, Safari, iWorks always opens full-screen. iPhoto and iMovies does not. Have a feeling that for now that feature is not working in iPhoto and iMovies.

  • 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.

  • Make application always launch in full screen mode?

    Some apps such as Mail and iTunes will remember that they are set to full screen mode when the Mac is restarted and will relaunch exactly as I left them.
    I have one third-party app (Linootype FontExplorer X Pro) which supports the full screen feature, but upon restart it will revert to a standard window rather than full screen and occupying its own space. The app's preferences don't seem to have any specific setting in them, but I was wondering if there is anything at the OS level I could try?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This setting is stored in the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf
    You you can check this file to see if sizemode="fullscreen" appears under the browser.xul#main-window heading.
    If have this section when the normal dimensions are 1024x720.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 5, each time I launch Firefox it opens in full screen mode. Is there a way to change this in preferences?

    I prefer the browser window to remain the same size I left it at when I quit Firefox. It starts to load at the same size, then jumps to full screen.
    It has also crashed a few times & I had to force quit twice.
    Please let me know if there are fixes for these issues.

    c uses the same profile folder as the Windows and Linux platform.
    You can locate the Firefox Profile Folder via

  • Where do i find the setting to always open homepage full screen

    IMAC with newest operating system install and all updates current. I must have hit something but now my homepage always upen at half screen. It uses to upen full screen.

    To answer your quesiton I don't thing there is such a setting, however Safari should open to the last size it was closed in.

  • Is there any way of viewing an image bmp/jpeg etc. on full screen in LabVIEW, without showing any toolbars?

    We require a VI to show an image,covering the entire screen without any visible toolbars. This image will be used as a projector output so it is necessary for no other items to appear. This VI would be run simultaneously with a motor control VI. Please help!!!

    Hello,
    You can set up a VI to be displayed as "dialog", which will remove all toolbars and scroll bars when it runs. This is done by going to the "VI Properties", selecting "Window Appearance", then choosing "Dialog". I have attached a sample VI that demonstrates how I would do this...it simply shows a picture in a picture control, and has a delay to show you the dialog appearance (no toolbars).
    I wrote this example in LabVIEW 6.0.2...hopefully this is the version you are using.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions, and have a pleasant day.

  • Is there any way to minimize/hide games when they're running full screen?

    so i'm a seasoned mac user, but i've always wanted to be able to do this, i've tried virtuedesktops to try and switch screens, but whatever i do, i have to quit the game if i want to change something on my desktop. that, or run it in a window, which kinda s u c k s. i know in windows you can minimize anything by hitting the window key. things like apple-tab don't work either. there must be some way to do this!

    That seems to depend on the game. Certain games seem to disable your ability to switch tasks. But what you could try is to induce the Force Quit (command-option-escape) dialog. If my experience serves correct, this seems to override whatever wants to prevent multi-tasking.

  • I'm wondering is there any way to see what tool is selected in full screen mode?

    Question: Is there any way to see what tool is selected in professional full screen mode when tools and windows are hidden?
    Here's an example what i mean..i made a sketch
    So what i mean is for example you are in full screen mode, and you press "U" to activate Rectangle Tool >>> you see like pop-up or anything similar that shows you what tool is selected.
    Thank you!

    you need iPhoto v9.2 or Aperture 3.2 to view the stream on your Mac.

  • Open the application in Full Screen Mode

    Hi all,
    I want my application to open in Full Screen Mode(same as when 'F11' key is pressed) after login button is clicked.
    How can it be done in application express??
    Can anyone help me??

    Hi,
    Make sure you add the code into the page's HTML Header setting:
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    function maxWindow()
    window.moveTo(0, 0);
    if (document.all)
      top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
    else
      if (document.layers || document.getElementById)
       if (top.window.outerHeight &lt; screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth &lt; screen.availWidth)
        top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
        top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
    window.onload = maxWindow;
    &lt;/script&gt;I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:158]
    Note that a user can stop javascript from resizing/repositioning the browser (I have this set in FireFox for example) - so this code may not work in those circumstances

  • Acrobat or Reader: Is there a way to set the print scaling default at the application level?

    Is there a way to set the Page/Print Scaling to a default at the application level? For Acrobat and Reader?
    Thanks,

    Often asked, but that feature retains the last used local setting.
    You can however, change the default for Documents, individually, in their Properties > Advanced tab

  • Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

    This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
    There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
    What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
    So I really have 2 questions:
    1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
    2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
    Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Is there any way to get an application to load automatically on server start?

    We're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm".  The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server.  That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs.
    Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.  I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance.  So I've left with a "chicken and egg" issue: how do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)?  I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global.  In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded.
    So, is there any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?

    Hi,
    I am sorry i have not read the full details what you wrote, but if you are looking for loading of application on start of the server, there is a configuration tag in application.xml called loadonstartup and by default it is set to false. Set it to true to enable it and all the apps will be loaded on server start.
    alternatively , you can make an application.xml inside the application folder and set this tag to true, to have this applied only to a particular application,
    Also, the fms admin console can launch a new instance of an app without any connection being made initially.
    Thank you !

  • Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address).

    Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address) and block traffic from everything else (the entire web) other than the one site I want to allow? The site I want to allow is a corporate web application that will only work in firefox. We as a business run a windows server and all client desktops run Internet Explorer with security setting controlled by group policy. We have already locked down the security setting in firefox so users can’t bypass the proxy server settings.

    I have a proxy server set up (Symantec.cloud). Fire fox is “locked” so users would find it difficult to bypass it.
    I have a file: '''local-settings.js '''
    This is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
    The content of this file is:
    ''pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");''
    I also have the file: called: '''mozilla.cfg'''
    This is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    The contents of this file is:
    lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
    All that is working fine, users can’t easily change the connection settings.
    So all that is good and works…
    What I would also like to do is set firefox so access is limited to 1 IP address and nothing else is allowed (the whole internet is blocked, except this one IP address).
    You suggest using a PAC file - I was unsure how I would use a PAC file, (I have never written one) and do not understand how I would implement one? Please help.

  • Is there a way to set default PDF options/presets in Illustrator CS5?

    I do a lot of design and have a custom preset created for saving my .ai files to .pdf. It's not a big deal but it's a little tedious switching from the default adobe PDF preset to my custom preset every time I save as to a PDF (Besides the ocassional times where I forget to switch it altogether, having my preset set to default would eliminate that).
    So I guess is there a way to set my custom preset as the default option for .PDFs? Thanks.

    Unfrotunately, I tried that and I guess you're not allowed to delete the presets that Adobe's created in Illustrator
    (Unless there's a way to find the actual preset file in Finder and delete that? Not sure because I've deleted the presets in HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ AdobePDF/Settings but an Illustrator Default still appears).
    Thanks though.
