Starting an app directly in full-screen mode

Hello! I am a long-time Mac user, but am still new to the Support Communities.
I bought Lion yesterday, and for the major part it has been running great. I am still struggling to adapt to the new Mission Control (I was a dedicated Spaces user and enjoyed navigating between them with Ctrl+Arrow.) and new gestures.
My question is:
I used to have some of the Spaces open just to contain a maximized app. Now that Spaces is gone, I would like to open these apps directly as full-screen from the start (because I like them maximized anyway), instead of having to open them in a particular desktop first. Is this possible at all?
Thank you very much!

Hello and thank you for using the HP webOS Help Forums!
The center button is not required for going into card view. In any position (landscape or portrait) you may swipe your finger from the bottom to top but just make sure you start int he black area around the screen. This is a subtle yet quick movement and may require some getting used to.
I hope this helps

  • I just noticed you can't right click icons in the dock when in Mission Control. I think this would be useful for turning off other apps easilt from full screen mode.

    Would anyone else find this useful?

    For me no. I think it's just as much or more effort as cmd-tab (or swipe) to the open app and then cmd-q to close it.

  • Starting Java app in full-screen mode.

    How can I start a Java application in full screen mode?

    Did you mean Full Screen Exclusive Mode (so that you can do page flipping, etc...)?

  • "X" out of full screen mode apps without having to exit fullscreen mode

    I would like to "X" out of full screen apps from the full-screen mode itself; without having to always exit manually out of fullscreen mode, and then X out in normal screen mode. 

    Full screen Apps use there own desktop system so there is no way to exit out of a Full screen app and leave that full screen mode running.
    Now if you have more then one full screen app running when you exit one of them, IE Quit one of them, it may go to one of the others. That is IF you were using one of the others before you quit the current one.

  • Full screen mode in Mountain Lion

    Hello everybody!
    I am experiencing certain problems with full screen mode in mountain lion 10.8.2 freshly installed (not upgraded over Lion or ML 10.8.x) on Macbook Pro 13 mid 2010 model. Whenever i open an application which supports full screen mode, it opens on my desktop so I have to enter into full screen mode. When I quit the application and reopen it, it again opens on my desktop then I have to again enter into full screen mode. What I want is that all apps open in full screen mode if they support like, calendar, mail, safari, notes, reeder, itunes, app store and so on.
    What could be the problem that is preventing my apps to start automatically in full screen mode?
    I would appreciate any kind of help from anyone of you.
    Thanks.

    Go to System Preferences > General and untick Close windows when quitting an application

  • How to add project, folder or album in full screen mode

    I love the full screen mode but I do need to go back (F) to "normal" mode for library changes like adding a new album, folder or project.
    All other library functions do work like move projects into folder etc.
    The function is shown in "inspector" (right mouse button) but you can not select the function.
    Is this not supported like the faces and places "button" in full screen mode as i learned reading this forum?

    If you close Firefox while in full screen mode then Firefox should start the next time in full screen mode as well.

  • Export as PDF and viewing in full screen mode

    Using LR 4.3, I'm exporting a slideshow to PDF.  Even though I turned off transitions in LR, the transitions automatcally start in Acrobat X in full screen mode.
    My goal is to present ths slide show with a mouse click, or arrow key, to move to the next slide in full screen mode. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Yes, because Acrobat has its own transition  settings that take precedence over the settings in Lr.
    In Acrobat go >Edit >Preferences >Full Screen and under <Default Transitions> select <No Transition>.

  • 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.

    I am using Mac osX 10.9.2
    I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.

    LOL... this is what I just had to look up... it's not exactly clear or apparent, is it?
    When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

  • How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

    Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

    Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???  

  • IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

    Hi,
    I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
    Steps -
    Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
    Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
    A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
    Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
    The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
    Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanks

    This is more of a feature of the browser already.
    With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.
    http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57513848-285/how-to-use-safaris-full-screen-mode-on-io s-6/
    One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
    Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

    If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

    wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • Apps do not remember full screen mode

    When I open a app, like Safari, and I go to full screen mode the app works great. When I'm done, I close the app and after a while I open it again. In my case it will open the app, but it will open in the "normal" mode, not the full screen mode. Anyone having troubles with this?

    I don't have this problem.  Try this:
    Open System Preferences > General Settings > Make sure the "Close windows..." checkbox is unticked.
