Make green button full screen window icon on Yosemite maximize windows

Hello I just wanted to share this wonderful tool with every one. I love OSX but sometimes its a pain. I have a workstation Mac Pro, full screen slows me down so I used this tool to remap the green button to maximize like it sorta did in older OS or like our beloved windows OS. I have to admit, the got maximize right. LOL
First download - BetterTouchTool - http://www.bettertouchtool.net/
Move to app folder and open. Follow the fist pop up if you wish to use the snap window Feature. I have not tried it.
Select Global icon on the left
Click Triggers at the bottom left middle side of BetterTouchTool window
Select Left click green window button, 3rd one down
Click Predefined Action at the bottom right side of BetterTouchTool window
Find and select Window interaction > Zoom Window Below Cursor
Thats it your done !!
I would recommend you click settings at the top and set to start the app at start up.
If this thread already exist, apologizes; could not find this info for 10.10
Don't forget to Share your BetterTouchTool mods here with every one !!!!

Firefox. Safari glitches time to time. Besides I vary much dislike full screen on my Workstation. Slows me down. Expose' is pretty qiuck with middle mouse button( using a Logitech mouse )This is a great tool as I mentioned, it has many features. I consider myself a Mac engineer, I have the Cert for it. I know all the in and outs and tweaks you can do to this system to make you go from a user to a power user; to make you machine operate like a 2030 Computer. I know your being helpful, thanks.
I would like people to find this and make use of it if it helps them. It did for me.

Firefox mac osx version does not support mac-Lion os full screen window mode. When will you bring this?

In macbook pro with lion os apple gives a full-screen-mode icon in the top right corner of the window, which will be used to open that view in different window. But firefox does not support this. Even chrome supports it.
When will you bring this feature to firefox?. Currently I am in firefox 8.0.1

No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

[SOLVED] Full Screen Windows All The Time?

I am currently using Arch+Evilwm on both my desktop and netbook, and generally I am very happy with Evilwm, but on the netbook I find myself making windows full screen all the time (to maximize screen space). Does anyone know if Evilwm can be altered to make all windows full screen all of the time?

Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

Full Screen Window on second screen minimizes when windows explorer opens..

I did implement a full screen window on my second screen (it's a feature needed by my application)
When I open windows explorer (I'm on windows XP), or when I click in a windows explorer window, the second screen window is minimized, even if explorer pops in the first screen.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Any help would be appreciated...

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

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

How to make keynote images full screen?

Question: how to make keynote images full screen? I just noticed. after many successful full screen shows with Keynote 09 5.1.1 that I am no longer seeing the show full screen, at 1280, but only using the center part of my macbook pro 13 inch screen (which will mirror just like that on the projection screen, as far as I know). Did I hit a setting I do not know about to keep the images so small?
Thanks

I bought Iphone Only for full screen contact image
Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
I don't believe you...
Please make changes for contact image for for full screen

How to make netflix go full screen with multiscreen on chrome

i have not touched my netflix since i got mavericks installed because every time i fullscreen the video it never covers the screen entirely.
when i make my chrome window on my other monitor fullscreen there is always a small sliver that seems to be reserved for the IOS toolbar even though with flash and HTML5 video on youtube it envelopes the screen completly. i have no idea why it does this. my only solution i found was to make the individual tab in chrome go fullscreen which hides the searchbar like fullscreening hide's IOS' toolbar but unless i am doing somthing wrong i can barley make that happen on purpose as it always seems to be a graphical hiccup that happens on accident.
i heard of netflix switching to HTM5 which works wonderful on mavericks but i seem to be stuck with silverlight. i can easily remedy this by going out of multiscreen mode but it is a hassle as i must shut down everything i am doing to log out and log in again and while it will make netflix play fullscreen i will still get hit with the inconsistent youtube format that switches form HTML5 to flash at random which the fullscreen html5 will get rid of my main screen which defeats the purpose of dualscreen. so unless there is a way to make silverlight fill the entire screen or make mavericks accept HTML5 or even how to get chrome to fullscreen a single tab on command i am wasting $8 a month because of crappy hardware.
and while i heard netflix works bets on safari and firefox i cant use them because netflix never seems to remember my passwords for other browsers which forces me to change the password every time i want to login elsewhere which is also a hassle.

use the shift key in what way? as i click the fullscrene icon on chrome? as i hit the fullscreen button on netflix? or when i hit silverlight? or when i use it in conjunction with another hotkey you did not mention? please be more explicit and detailed in your solution.
i have had this problem since i got mavericks in October 2013 and have been looking for a solution myself for the past 4 months and have found nothing. maybe i was searching wrong or asking the wrong questions but i doubt i found nothing because i was the only one with the problem. i figured that more experienced mac users and chrome users would have faced the same problem and came up with a solution already using their ingenuity and hopefully would offer me their solutions if i asked directly.
since you responded within 3 minutes of me posting this question and as vague as your reply was you mention the solution requires the shift key in some way i was right in assuming i was not the only one with the problem and that others have found the solution already. no hours or days required to troubleshoot this alien and unheard of technical issue on my behalf since you have done that for yourself in the past 4 months and would only require 5-10 minutes in writing out 8-16 lines of text to explain the solution. possibly 24 lines if you write out the steps as a list.
i would not ask for help here if i found the solution myself but sadly i could not and have to turn to the community for guidance and cooperation in solving the problem, just like how humanity has solved every problem it faced and made the modern world the marvel it is today,though this sharing of information and labor that a social species such as humans would excel at.
so how exactly do i use the shift key in expanding my chrome tab which would make my netflix go full screen with no gaps?

Stop full-screen windows in DW CS6 interface.

My preference for using DW is to have code view, site files & that's it. I really dont need any other feature.
I have turned off the Application frame in DW CS6 & saved my workspace preference as code & site only.
However whenever I open a file, it always insists on making the code window full screen - thats rather annoying because the reason to turn off apllication frame is so you can see the desktop & other open files - but this just covers everything over again.
Is there a way for DW to remember your prefered window size?

I agree, this is incredibly annoying, the application frame is the only way to control the size of the window, but you cannot "see through the cracks" to other open windows. Some of us actually do real work with your programs, which usually involve keeping multiple windows open at the same time, your insistence on opening windows full screen with no work around (no scripting programs, such as Quickeys or Keyboard Maestro can control your window sizes, either). If you "play" at development you can focus only using only one program at a time, but I have to follow wireframes and insert Word copy hundreds of times a day, and everytime you force me into several unnecessary steps with your fantastic new interface philosophy. PLEASE fix this. Either open up your Window schema so scripting programs have access to changing your window sizes, allow the user to define what size windows open at (or make it Workspace preference), or make the application frames transparent and allow us to click through the frame to other programs. PLEASE.

How to make apps. open full screen at start up in Mavericks?

Hi everyone,
Last week i just bought a mac & im new to mac osx. i just wanted to know when i put some apps like calendar to start at login,i put them in full screen mode but when i restart osx, it will open in regular window not full screen,interesting thing is, some apps like mail & utorrents open full screen at start up but some apps like safari & calendar dont,
is there any way to make any apps to open in full screen at start up or even when everytime u open app from dock. i searched google but couldnt find any real solution for this issue.
if you help me ill be gratful,sorry for my bad eng.
Thankx

If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

Full screen windows media player

Greetings - I am having issues trying to open a .wmv file
full-screen. I am simply using:
on mouseUp
baOpenFile( the moviePath & "01.wmv" , "maximized" )
end
I have made several attempts to at code to make sure it opens
in full-screen, but found no simple solution. I am running dual
monitors and this will open up in the second monitor within the WMP
- full screen.
Thanks all -
bS

Hmmm … maximizing the application isn’t exactly
the same as full screen playback (ie: without all the interface
elements). If you want to maximize the application on a given
monitor the following might work:
Open media player in normal mode
Use baMoveWindow to place the player on the monitor of your
choice
Use baSetWindowState to maximize
You could use baMoveWindow to both move the window and make
it full screen although I don’t think the OS will recognize
the window as being maximized.
To use Buddy API’s window functions you’ll need
the WinHandle for your media player window … look closely at
baFindWindow and/or baWindowList … these functions I have
used. Make sure you use the window title to find the handle, using
the class is dangerous because there is no guarantee that media
player will be the default player for wmv on any given system.
If your projector is windowed and can be dragged by the user,
and if you want to identify which monitor shares the greatest area
with the projector stage I wrote the following function. Works fine
with single monitor systems. Note that if the user somehow manages
to push the projector off all screens the primary monitor is
returned. I’m not sure what will happen if you call the
function while the projector is minimized (not possible in my use).
I suspect the primary monitor would be returned but I’ve
never tested that, it all depends on what the value of
_movie.stage.rect is when the application is minimized. If
it’s rect(0,0,0,0) there’s no problem, if it’s
void the following code would need to be modified to check the
application state first.

Mobile Safari Crash when using an iFrame in Full Screen mode (Icon launch)

Platform: iPad 2/3/mini iOS 8.1 (Other versions seem to show the same behavior)
The Problem:
I am making an html5 app that is running in full screen mode by adding it to the homescreen and using the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag to hide Safari.
When altering the source of an iFrame to an asset (mov, mp3, etc), Safari in turn will crash ONLY when in full screen mode. If I am browsing my app out of full screen mode, the assets load without a problem.
The odd thing is, the default browser player for these assets change in appearance when using the full screen mode.
I have setup a page to reproduce the crash:
Navigate to: http://instapark.me/roi
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (No crash)
Add to your homescreen.
Launch from homescreen icon.
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash, but it will not play.)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (crash!)

It is already switched off because it's a known issue that the macbook pro mid 2010 has kernel panics with the discrete gpu.
Any other guesses?
*Also please note that this is probably a safari issue since chrome works fine. But I can't read crash logs so any help would be appreciated.
