*real* full screen in screen sharing??

Hi,
How can I view the screen of the remote desktop (using screen sharing) in REAL full screen mode, i.e. without seeing any of the menus or docks of the host computer. Currently, if I choose "view-full screen" I still get a menu and the dock for the host computer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

ColonelPanik,
What six buttons are you talking about? When I open a Screen Sharing session, it opens in a standard Mac OS window and I can only see the standard window frame, with three buttons (red, yellow and green) on left, the name of the computer to which I connected in the middle, and the white button on the right that toggles the toolbar on and off.
The toolbard, by the way, has only three buttons: fit screen in window (which is not "view in full screen"), get remote clipboard contents, and send remote clipboard contents.
I do not see these 6 buttons you are referring to. I am also using 10.5.7.
Thanks,
BZdM

  • Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

    For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
    next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either. 
    This must be possible to establish as an option?! 
    The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
    it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature! 
    As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
    this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words! 
    Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view? 
    I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
    nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
    We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.

  • How to Click to go full-screen without xtras

    A Shockwave 3d is published to brower,
    I will switch between full-screen and common in the brower through Click a button,
    The full-screen is the real full-screen like a lot of desktop-based games do.
    Please tell me how to do it without xtras.

    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?

  • Full screen Air app from Flash

    Hi,
    Im using Flash CS3, and I´m trying to make my first AIR
    applications.
    I try to get a full screen view using:
    stage.displayState =
    StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    but i only get a full screen window. Can´t get rid of
    the window/menu-bar and the system bar on top (I´m using OSX).
    I think I have to disable the systemChrome, but I can´t
    figure out how to do this from Flash. I´ve seen som AIR
    examples in javacript and flex, but nothing that works for me in
    Flash.
    Best regards

    Has anyone found a way to remove the top menu in OS X? I am
    converting a presentation tool created as a Flash executable to

    to pitch clients and they want a true full screen experience on the
    Mac. I have been trying for hours, scouring online and through help
    files for the answer and cannot find it. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.

  • What is a full screen view?

    My full screen view used to be a full screen view of a photo. Edge to edge, top to bottom. Now in slide show I have 1 inch vertical black bands on each side. In full screen view I have 1 1/2 inch vertical bands on each side plus the horizontal info bands. I suspect a solution is in iPhoto preferences but I can't find it. Can I get a real full screen view? (13 inch Mac Book running 10:6.5)

    There is no solution in the Preferences or anywhere else.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let the developers know you want a change.

  • Time for a True "Full Screen" Mode

    Instead of using Shift-Tab and "L" and "F" to achieve something resembling a reall Full Screen display and editing mode, it is time to implement the ability to simply hit a single keyboard stroke and go to a display mode that truly displays images bounded by the edges of the screen with no surround.  And then have the ability to invoke editing with a single key stroke.  The amount of fiddling we have to go through currently is just nonsense.

    I strongly support this request, and it really should have been a feature in the beta (tried to look for similar requests in the mentioned forum, but the search function there is useless - "lightroom fullscreen preview" returns 2221 hits and none of the top hits are relevant).  Anyway: All the cool and brilliant features of LR 4 aside, photo management is above all about viewing and it baffles me that state of the art software like LR doesn't provide simple and real full screen viewing. Why on earth isn't the Bridge solution (or an improved version of it) implemented in LR: ONE keystroke to get a fullscreen fit image preview, ONE click to zoom to 1:1, simple trackpad gestures to move around, ONE key to get back again, ONE key to get to develop mode.
    The unneccessary convoluted juggling of keys we have now is one thing, quite another is that "fullscreen" still only uses 80% of the available real estate. This is a show stopper to me - even more so when I'm working on a laptop.

  • How to get back to Full Screen View?

    I have been opening images of one of my iPhoto albums in Full Screen View adding four or five more images from the thumbnails row to see them simultaneously. So they appeared in a smaller size to fit the screen. But now whenever I want to open one of the images of this album in Full Screen View they only show in the smaller size in the Full Screen View window. I cannot get them back to real Full Screen size. Is there a simpel button that I have overlooked or what else could be the problem? Thanks for any help.
    Moriaan

    Yes I have, the slider can go to the max, the image becomes bigger but does not go to the full Full Screen View. When I try an other image from this same album the same thing happens again, in a flash it opens big (full screen) but instantly goes to a smaller size. Even though I open only one image it takes on the size as though it had to share the full screen with five other images. However if I open an image from a different album everything works oke, I press the Full Screen View button and I get the full screen as it should be. Only this particular album where I opened several images in one Full Screen View before gives this problem.

  • Lion Screen Sharing with Full Screen apps on Remote Lion

    Has anyone figured out how to EASILY work with multiple desktops and full screen apps on the remote mac when Screen Sharing with one Lion mac from another?  All of the standard methods of switching between desktops and full screen apps (swipe, cmd + <arrow>, etc) all take place on the the local Mac, and not the remote one. 
    The only real effective methods I have found so far are using the dock (not elegant with full screen apps), and removing an app from full screen.  Either way, these methods are clumsy and do not compliment the new features that Lion provides. 

    You're not going to believe this.
    Problem was on my buddy's end.  The  slash key "/" was stuck down on her keyboard.
    Sometimes the solution is so far out of normal troubleshooting, you're luck if you ever find it...
    Nothing to see here, move along...

  • Screen sharing in full screen mode

    This is the issue :
    The remote computer has an open application open in full screen mode (ie Safari)

    Does some one can help me on this ?
    Many thanks

  • Connect from Windows through screen sharing (VNC) and get out of full screen mode

    How do you get out of fullscreen mode?
    I connect to a OS X Lion computer through a Windows computer (which actually also is remote).
    I use TightVNC software on Windows to connect. It's the only VNC software I am able to connect to OS X Lion with. TightVNC is kind of weak otherwise in the way that it does not have features for OS X targets - like you can't send "command" key pushes, or even Ctrl pushes and other F2 etc keys just don't really work.
    Which means I cannot exit full screened apps by way of Command-F or similar. Moving the mouse cursor to the top of the screen also does not pop down the menu (although on some occasions I have been able to do this, I'm not sure how and it's terribly hard to reproduce).
    I'd need a on-screen way (like a button to click) to get out of full screen mode.
    Any ideas???

    Are you using TightVNC because you found it was the only VNC client that worked well with Mac OS X built-in VNC server?  Or is there another reason?
    Vine Server (aka OSXvnc - free to use the server)
    <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11283/vine-server-%26-viewer>
    plays nicer with 3rd party VNC clients, so that you could try any number of other WIndows VNC clients.  Maybe one of those will do a better job of sending Command/Control/Option keys.
    But if you do install Vine server make sure you turn off Mac OS X Screen Sharing (and/or Remote Managment) so that you do not conflict with port 5900.  Or via Vine Server configs, tell Vine Server to use a different port number, such as 5901, then make sure you connect to the correct port from your Windows client.

  • Full screen  - in screen sharing

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 2011 macbook air with lion os and 2011 21.5" imac also lion os, i was trying to share my macbook screen through sceen sharing so i can see it on my 21.5" imac.
    The problem is when i switch to full screen mode in screen sharing on the macbook, on the imac i see the macbook screen stay at the size it was and around it i see blank grey spaces.
    How can i strech my macbook screen to the hole 21.5" imac screen?
    Thanks!

    There is no feature on Screen Sharing built in to Leopard that allows full screen screen sharing. However, you could try searching for third party VNC/Screen Sharing software that might allow this.

  • 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!
    ray

    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.

  • Any way to use Screen Sharing in Full Screen mode?

    "Back to my Mac" screen sharing works great for me, but my remote screen is small enough as it is for a windowed VNC session... is there any way to switch to Full Screen in the Screen Sharing application?
    thanks!

    Did you go to the "Screen Sharing" menu and select "Preferences?" I don't see full screen, but there are some view options.

  • How to detect real desktop and remotely accessed(screen shared) desktop?

    Hi All,
    On Mac Os the Screen Sharing feature is similar to Remote Desktop Service. Is there a way to determine whether the terminal where we are starting the application(our own application) is real desktop or remotely accessed (screen shared) desktop?
    For Ex:
    I have booted(logged in) the Mac A sytem with user1 account. From another Mac B machine, i will login to user2 account of Mac A sytem using Screen sharing  feature. My application has to run only on real desktop, not on remotely accessed desktop(screen shared). So Is there a way(programmatically) to determine whether the terminal where I am starting the application is real desktop or remotely accessed (screen shared) desktop?
    Please guide me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vinay

    Have a look at the 'Son Of Grab' sample code, it shows you how to grab elements of the screen individually.

  • Screen sharing with full screen apps in Lion, control problem.

    Looking for a cleaner way to accomplish this, perhaps there isn't one but thought I'd ask.
    If you screen share with another computer on Lion, and that other computer has an app running full screen on it, what is the best way to get to "the rest" of that computer?
    You can't do a 3 finger swipe because that just moves the desktops of your current computer , same with the shortcut keys like f3 and f4.
    Yes I know that you could go up to the corner of the full sceen app and take it out of full scrren mode but this seems like a slightly clumsy un-apple solution.

    I know this is an older thread, but I need an answer to this as well.  Like the OP said, I have to take my apps out of full screen mode on my target computer, which seems very strange to me.  This makes it very difficult to manuever around using screen share.  Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
