Photoshop CS5 "full screen with menu bar" problem

Hi, I use Photoshop in a Mac computer. In CS4 when I work in "full screen with menu bar" mode, is really a full screen because the workspace go beyond the dock at the bottom. I mean, the dock is overlaping the workspace. In CS5, in the same mode is not really a full screen, the workspace ends above the dock, and the space at the bottom of the screen is wasted. I want to know why they changed that, and if there is a way to fix the problem (Hide the dock is not an option for me. Neither to use standard screen mode, cause that way I can't move the image around when zoomed out)

The following may work:
1. Record an action and use insert menu item for:
   View>Screen Mode>Full Screen with Menu Bar
                            and
   View>Fit on Screen
2. Go to: File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager.
   In the event manager dialog choose the settings as below.
Everytime you open a document, the screen mode will go to full screen
and fit on screen.
If you decide that's a pain, you can go to the scripts event manager and remove the action.
For this to work, the action you recorded has to be in the actions panel.

  • On Firefox Nightly (64bit) full-screen is not full-screen. Menu bar and tabs appear above the full-screen.

    I'm running Debian Testing (Jessie) with a 3.15-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel. I'm running Mozilla Nightly 34.0a1. All is well except in full-screen mode. The problem is present whether running a video using the Flashplayer or HTML5. When playing a video and selecting "Full-screen mode" Firefox goes into full-screen as usual, except... the tab bar appears above the so-called "full" screen and so does the navigation/search bar which appears just below the tab bar and just above the video itself.
    I can make this problem disappear by creating a new profile which is basically a "blank slate" (nothing added). I can show you a screen-shot if you wish to see the non-full-screen yourselves.

    Hi dsiddens
    You can right-click empty space on the Tab bar or Navigation Toolbar to open the toolbar context menu and set a tick on "Hide Toolbars".

  • Button to close Full Screen in Menu bar is missing. Bug or Configuration issue?

    Hi,
    OS 10.7 has the option to view applications in Full Screen mode.
    According to the demo video on the Apple site, there should be a button right to the Spotlight icon to close the Full Screen Mode.
    On my Macbook Pro I don't see this button.
    Is this a bug or a configuration issue on my system?\
    Regards,
    Anthonie

    After using full-screen mode for a while between scrivener full-screen and safari full-screen, now I want to turn of the fullscreen of safari, but that icon that should appear whenever you put the mouse up on the right corner, nothing appears. So, I do not have any option to turn off the full-screen mode in safari-except when I put my mouse on the very down and push one more time, then dock appears, and there I can quit safari, but as I said I do not want to quit Safari, I want to turn of fullscreen mode of Safari... Is this a bug or what?

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar -blue

    For some reason the 'Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar' option has a blue background now. The background used to be gray, and then one time i opened up Photoshop and now the background is blue. It is very annoying and affects my painting. The grey was neutral, now it is blue so my colors are going to appear off.
    If you don't know what i mean: Open Photoshop, make a canvas (new image) Hit the key "F" on your keyboard 2 times so the canvas takes up the entire page but the menu bars are still up. The color around the canvas is Blue, when it has ALWAYS been gray.
    Please someone tell me how to fix this.

    I found out a solution. If anybody ever encounters this problem just right click on the background and select Gray. :)

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar view mode appears with Blue Background??

    Can someone please help me figure out what I did exactly to unintentionally change the "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar" view mode so that it now appears with a Blue Background, instead of the default gray one....and better yet, can someone let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background instead?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    >let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background
    SHIFT-Click the Paint Bucket pool in that area using the gray of your choice (e.g. 132, 132, 132).
    (That's probably what you did to turn it blue.)
    Or, more drastically, you can trash your preferences.

  • PS CS6, Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, Zoom, Brush, Auto Pan

    There seems to be a functionality that was lost (or I can't find it) in CS6 that was in earlier versions.  When I am In Full Screen Mode with Menu and the image I am editing is zoomed in, I used to be able to shift+click my brush to extend a line.  That line would automatically reposition the image when I got to the edge of the screen.  Does anyone know if that functionality is gone or do I need to turn "something on”?
    1. I open a file
    2. I ender Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
    3. I enlarge the photo so that its boundaries are beyond the edge of the screen
    4. I enter mask mode (doesn't matter what mode)
    5. With my brush tool I start to paint a line by holding the "shift" key and "left-click"
    6. I get to the edge of the screen
    * this is where PS would reposition the image automatically and I could keep painting my line

    Which operating system are you using?

  • Toggle Full Screen with lingo?

    Hi there,
    I have just got a Mac mini 10.6.2 and I'm testing exporting mac projectors from Dir11.5 on XP.
    What I'd like to achieve is to swap between two states whilst playing the projector.
    State 1: Small draggable Windowed state with title bar and Mac Dock / desktop visible.
    State 2: Pure 800x600 Full Screen with No Dock or title bar visible.
    I am using BuddyAPI successfully to switch monitor screen modes to 800x600 and back again to native res.
    My problem is, if I want to hide the dock and title bar, I seem to have to publish with the "Full Screen" checkbox ticked in the publish settings. This means when I switch back to native res windowed mode there is the solid movie background colour hiding the mac desktop and dock (as you'd expect).
    Is there a way to turn full screen (black out the desktop and dock) on and off during runtime with lingo?
    I know its a long shot, but though I'd check with the pros before assuming it's not possible.
    Cheers
    Richard Smith

    My understanding is that Flash will not allow you to do that.
    Full screen mode is invoked only if explicitly requested from
    within the flash on mouse events.

  • Every time that I want to go full screen with an enbedded video firefox freezes and doesn't expand

    1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

  • Windows 8 - Photoshop CS5.1 crashes upon startup. Error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

    Hello!
    I've had the student version of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium software for several years now.
    When I received my Windows 8 computer I installed the software with no issue.
    Last week when I tried opening Photoshop I get the following error: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I deactivated and uninstalled the entire Creative Suite then reinstalled it. I am able to open the other programs, but still receive the same message for Photoshop.
    What can I do?

    I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
    It appears this forum is dead?!
    Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

  • Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

    On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
    When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
    "Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
    When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
    First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
    I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
    (IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
    - <no additional information available>)
    The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
    Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
    It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
    The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
    Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
    What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

    Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
    Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
    At least so far.
    Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.

  • ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

    iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

    Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
    For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.

  • Gray Boot Screen with progress bar & SMC Issues

    Hi All,
    Over the last few days I've experienced the grey boot screen with progress bar three separate times after the finder froze and I was forced to manually reboot my imac. Previously I have only seen this during a Firmware update.
    I am also concerned about the Finder freezing. It has been happening when I've been trying to access any of my external hard drives at random intervals (connected via usb, and f800). I am concered that my SMC controller might be failing as these drives are testing fine on other computers and in drive test programs. Also, the f800 drives have been self unmounting.
    I had my internal drive replaced by apple a few weeks ago, could they have somehow damaged the smc controller unintentially? Or is this simply a Snow Leopard hiccup? (I'm running 10.6.2). I'm really starting to get annoyed with having to hard reboot or constantly reset my SMC. Any ideas before I take it in to a store?
    Thanks!

    I have found other users have this same problem when using windows. My setup worked fine until I did a windows update. Now apple partition is inaccessible. Guess the windows update whacked the apple partition. Apple should have a workaround. Bad Windows!

  • 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?
