Taskbar problem at fullscreen

Hi,
my application starts with an autostart delay after windows booting. Sometimes the taskbar is visible when flash runs in fullscreens, just at start of the application . Are there any typical reasons that can lead to this problem?
TIA

Did you fix that problem???
I got exactly the same one and would need an idea!
Many thanks

Problem with Fullscreen mode

Hello. I have problem with Fullscreen mode in Pages 09. Let me explain it. I launch Pages 09 on space nr 4, than i activate fullscreen mode and now when fullscreen is active i switch for example to space nr 2. And what happens? Pages also moves to space nr 2, but i don't want to move my pages to space nr 2. I guess it is a bug in Pages 09. Thank you for your advice.

Hi There
By the sounds of this behaviour you haven't set any space options for Pages within System Preferences (Expose and Spaces Pane). After experimenting with different options this is what I experience:
1. Pages not listed in application assignment in spaces Preferences - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another pages window will follow and exit fullscreen (this sounds like what you are experiencing).
2. Pages set to every space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another and pages will follow but wont exit full screen.
3. Pages set to a single space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another using control and arrow keys pages will pull me back into the space it is set to and will exit fullscreen. Using the control and number keys pages will stay in its set space but upon returning to that space pages had exited fullscreen.
I suggest you add pages to the the spaces application assignment in System Preferences by clicking the plus arrow under the list of apps and select a specific space for pages to open in, once open Pages will only move from this space if you move it manually.
You can send your feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html if you wish
Hope this helps

FF7 / Windown 7 Taskbar floats above fullscreen Flash video

Since upgading to FF7, the Windows 7 taksbar floats above fullscreen Flash video.
I've updated to FF 7.01, updated the Flash player to 10.3.183.10, disabled all other plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.
For the moment, I have to autohide the taksbar in Windows when watching fullscreen video.
Happens on YouTube and Vimeo and all other video sites I've tested.

Found a fix. It was something to do with my DPI settings in Windows.
corduroy1979 says:
'''Right click on your Firefox icon (not the one in your task bar), if it's not on your desktop, find it in the Mozilla Firefox program folder.
After right clicking, select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, then check the box that says Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
That's it. I'm now back to using 200% DPI and have no problems with fullscreen videos. What a pain in the ass! '''

Some problems with fullscreen, keylistener and bufferstrategy :-)

Hi.
I have a few questions.
I worked a long time trying to make my game run smoothly but I just couldn't get it perfect. I thought it had something to do with the load of graphics I use, but it wasn't the case. Here is what I did:
public class Game extends Frame implements Runnable, KeyListener {
    int [] controls = new int[256];
    final static int FrameRate = 60;
    final int MiliFrameLength = 1000/FrameRate;
    private long startTime;
    private int frameCount;
    public Game()
        GraphicsDev gd = new GraphicsDev(); // Class that handles the graphics device
        int ref = gd.getDisplayM().getRefreshRate();
        if(fullscreen==1) {
            setUndecorated(true);
            gd.getGraphicsDev().setFullScreenWindow(this);
            gd.getGraphicsDev().setDisplayMode(new DisplayMode(screenWidthX,screenWidthY,24,ref));
        } else if (fullscreen==0) {
            setSize(screenWidthX,screenWidthY);
        addKeyListener(this);
        show();
        createBufferStrategy(2);
        buffer = getBufferStrategy();
        startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        frameCount = 0;
        Thread t = new Thread(this);
        t.start();
        update();
    public void update() {
        while(rungame) {
            Graphics2D gr2D = (Graphics2D)buffer.getDrawGraphics();
            if(controls[40] == 1) moveup(1);
            if(controls[38] == 1) movedown(1);
            if(controls[37] == 1) moveleft(1);
            if(controls[39] == 1) moveright(1);
            paintGraphics(gr2D);
            gr2D.dispose();
            buffer.show();
            frameCount++;
            while((System.currentTimeMillis()-startTime)/MiliFrameLength <frameCount)
            { Thread.yield(); }
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
         controls[ke.getKeyCode()&0xFF] = 1;
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke) {
         controls[ke.getKeyCode()&0xFF] = 0;
      public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke){}
}The original code is of cause much bigger, so this is just to show what happens. It's pretty straight forward.
My problem is that the game only runs completely smooth when it is in fullscreen and v-synched. This means that I have to have a framerate at 60 (same as the refreshrate). It looks great, but my keyboard input can't keep up with this speed. About every 10 sec the game hangs for a while. If I set the framerate or refreshrate lower it doesn�t run smoothly.
My questions are:
1: Is it possible to make the keyboard work with a framerate/refreshrate of 60+
2: Is it possible to use v-synched in window mode?
3: If yes � How do I do this? ;-)
Maybe I'm taking a totally wrong approach to this, but everyone seems to have different solution to making a game to run smooth, and right now I'm very confused (was first yesterday I found out about the v-synch).

I've seen this code before. You're following a standard rendering template right? I've never used the
while((System.currentTimeMillis()-startTime)/MiliFrameLength <frameCount)
            { Thread.yield(); } method for syncing framerate but here's another suggestion which
is what I use and my rendering is as smooth as silk even at a monitor refresh rate (and framerate)
of 85 fps (however, like you, I only go to 60 fps) long framerate = 60; //i.e. 60 fps
   public final void run(){
      long start_Time = 0;
      long elapsed_Time = 0;
      final Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
      while(t == thread){
         //start_Time = . . .
         render();
         relocate_Sprites();
         sort_Sprites_for_Z_Buffer();
         //elapsed_Time = . . .
         try{
            if(elapsed_Time < 1000/framerate)
               Thread.sleep(1000/framerate-elapsed_Time);
            else
               Thread.sleep(3); // without this line, you may starve the gc
         catch(InterruptedException e){
   }This system works perfectly even with 40 Sprites, one of which is like 1050 x 640 in dimensions
(background which scrolls a bit). My system is not particularly fast:
-AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz
-384 MB RAM
-nVidia GeForce 2 400 MX at 32 MB (this piece is practically extinct now)

PS CS5 & WIN 7 minimize to taskbar problem

I recently switched from Vista & CS4 to Windows 7 & CS5 and there is one thing that drives me crazy! When I used to minimize files I had open inside phoshop they would just collapse/minimize to a small bar/tab at the bottom of the photoshop window (inside the photoshop workspace). Now they minimize to the windows taskbar outside of Photoshop.
The main reason this drives me crazy is because:
I often have many reference images all open at once on my secondary monitor so I pull bits of inspiration here and there from all the different images as I glance at my second monitor. I also have my main painting/illustration open on on my primary monitor as well as another one of the same image open on my second monitor (via window/arrage/new window for "blank.psd ") So now I have all these sepearte windows open inside photshop. Part of my workflow is that I use the "show desktop" button for windows to minmize whatever might be open at the time because I keep shortcuts to all my files on the desktop for easy access. HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES IN...after I have showed my desktop, when I want to go back to photoshop and I click the tab/icon in the taskbar it only opens the main window of photoshop and all of the the files I had open remain minimized. So, I have go back down to the taskbar and click through every file individually to restore it (often about 30 files). It is so annoying. I just want to be able to have all my documents/files/images inside photoshop like they used to be and not as seperate things in the windows taskbar. Or at least if they are in the task bar I want to be able to restore them all at once after I "show desktop".
Can anyone help??please!
Thanks!

Hm, I normally use Tabbed view, but I just switched to Windowed view (by disabling [ ] Open Documents as Tabs in preferences), and when I did a Show Desktop with Photoshop having several windows open it minimized to one button in the TaskBar (I have Combine When Full set by the way).
When I clicked the Photoshop button on the TaskBar, Photoshop and all the documents that were open when I did Show Desktop came back. Those that I had minimized manually stayed minimized.
I didn't experiment with 12.0.0 much, but I don't recall it doing it quite this way... Have you installed the Photoshop 12.0.1 update?

I can't see my taskbar anymore in fullscreen mode while watching flash videos. how do I fix this?

I used to be able to see my taskbar while watching flash videos full screen. now I can't. I end up missing messages and worse yet, the low battery warning on screen and my computer shuts down. I have firefox 24.0.

Hi, I don't know how much help this screenshot is going to be but here goes. I used to be able to play flash videos full screen and see my taskbar on the bottom. Last week I think (not really sure, since it updates itself) there was a flash update. After the update, when I make the videos fullscreen, my taskbar disappears. Now I have to come out of fullscreen and check for the battery life and messages constantly. There's no "on top" setting for the taskbar in windows 7 but it is set to lock.

Big problem with fullscreen

Since I updated my iMac with Lion fullscreen does not function. Not only the new fullscreen-mode for Safari,Mail etc. is not available even in Quicktime Player or Preview I can not set fullscreen :-( Everytime I try there is only a error sound. Please help me..

Unfortunately that is the current workaround
It means that it is not quite a solution.
It sounds like your problem does not relate to a hardware issue.
Here are my suggestions
1. Test your internet connection. Google has many option for this. If you have a router try to figure out if it keeps logs of who has accessed it. Most linksys and d-link routers do this. The information can be found on their website.
2. turn off hardware acceleration. You can do that by right-clicking on the video and selecting settings. it is in the first menu.
3. Try another browser such as firefox or seamonkey.
4. Downgrade flash.
here is a link for downgrading
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages
Edit: I just saw that xorgx3 also suggested to turn off hardware acceleration

How can I remove the flash icon from my taskbar when I fullscreen a video (Picture inside)

I have dual monitors and watch videos on my left screen, I don't have this problem with Chrome and it is the only thing putting me off making the Switch.
It is incredibly minor but it's make or break for me, please help /r/Firefox
Here's a picture of my problem, sorry for the size.

X120e desktop taskbar problem

I don't know why, but ever since I activated windows 7 ultimate, there has been weird shadows on the windows interface (taskbar). Here are two pictures: The first one shows my x120e destop with the weird shadows, the second one is from another one of my windows 7 pc's that do not have the shadows problem. As you can see, the taskbar on the first image had these weird shadows, and I want to make these shadows go away. All settings for appearance are the same for these two computers, but the one w/ the shadow problem has windows 7 ultimate, and the one without the problem (second image) has windows 7 home premium.
first one (shadows-bad-my current x120e desktop):

Problem running fullscreen programs under DWM...

I'm having trouble getting programs to run in fullscreen in DWM on my laptop. The issue is when the program changes the screen resolution. If a program is set to run at the same resolution as my system, there's no problem. But, when a program has to change the resolution, it changes the resolution but the program doesn't gain focus, so all I see is a magnified version of my WM, and in some cases some of the program's window. When I exit fullscreen or the program, my WM gets set back to the correct resolution. I have the same problem whether the tag is set to float, tiling, or monocle.
I don't have a custom xorg.conf and my native resolution is automatically detected, so I don't use anything to set it. I'm using the open source ATI video driver.
I can't seem to find any solutions to this online...Any help would be highly appreciated.

DOSBox and ZSNES...I also ran a fullscreen program I wrote in SDL first in my native resolution and then half my native resolution to troubleshoot, and that's how I came to the conclusion that the problem has to do with the programs changing the resolution.

Problems with FullScreen using OSMF 1.5

Hello. Sorry for my English first of all. =)
I have interesting and specific problem with osmf. I'm using osmf to play playlist. Here is source code:
public class VideoPlayer extends SpriteVisualElement
private var mediaPlayerSprite:MediaPlayerSprite;
public function VideoPlayer()
super();
mediaPlayerSprite = new MediaPlayerSprite();
mediaPlayerSprite.width = width;
mediaPlayerSprite.height = height;
mediaPlayerSprite.scaleMode = ScaleMode.LETTERBOX;
mediaPlayerSprite.mediaPlayer.autoPlay = true;
mediaPlayerSprite.mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.COMPLETE, onMediaComplete);
mediaPlayerSprite.mediaPlayer.addEventListener(MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR, onMediaError);
mediaPlayerSprite.mediaPlayer.addEventListener(MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent.MEDIA_PLAYER_ST ATE_CHANGE, onMediaPlayerStateChange);
addChild(mediaPlayerSprite);
public function set playlist(playlist:Vector.<String>):void
var serialElement:SerialElement = new SerialElement();
var videoElement:LightweightVideoElement;
for each(var url:String in playlist)
videoElement = new LightweightVideoElement();
videoElement.smoothing = true;
videoElement.resource = new URLResource(url);
serialElement.addChild(videoElement);
mediaPlayerSprite.media = serialElement;
When flash player is in fullscreen mode and first video file is finished next video starts to play, but there is no picture. If I close fullscreen mode and then go fullscreen again, everything is all right. I've met this problem only in such installation: LG 37LE5300 connected to Acer Veriton N282G with Nvidia NG ION video card via original HDMI 1.3 cable. Windows 7 32 bit, Nvidia display drivers 257,29. In another combination everything works fine.
So what can be a problem?

Hi,
Interesting bug indeed. Can you please log a bug with the details you provided on our bug system, http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM so we can better track this issue? It will be also useful if you will give us also the code used for switching to full screen.
Thanks,

Problem with fullscreen and TextArea

I'm actually working to put a program in fullscreen mode. My interface is ok in fullscreen, I just got a problem with my TextArea. I don't arrive to get focus on them when it is in fullscreen...
My cursor change, but I can't select the text inside.
if someone got an idea?
thanks,
Thomas.

It doesn't work. My textArea is selectable, but I begin to define my problem.
When I'm in fullscreen, I don't arrive to get focus on the TextArea.
myFocusListener = new FocusListener() {
               public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
                    myProxy.sendFromComponentInt("selected", 1);
               public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
                    myProxy.sendFromComponentInt("selected", 0);
it never pass in focusGained when I'm in fullscreen mode, whereas it work fine in a classic Frame.
I go in fullscreen mode like this :
public void setFullscreen (){
     GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice ();
     GraphicsConfiguration gc = gd.getDefaultConfiguration ();
     Rectangle windowBounds = gc.getBounds();
// resize my interface to the size of screen
     sendFromWindowIntInt ("resized", windowBounds.width, windowBounds.height);
     //System.out.println("largeur : "+ windowBounds.width +" hauteur : "+ windowBounds.height);
     JWindow win = new JWindow () ;
     win.setContentPane(window.getContentPane());
     gd.setFullScreenWindow (win) ;
     win.requestFocus();
Got an Idea?
thanks a lot.

Problem with fullscreen

Hi,
I am creating a JFrame with a JPanel. On clicking the Panel, I am invoking the fullscreen window. Now, I would like to know who is having the focus the JPanel, the JFrame or the JWindow.
I am calling JPanel.requestFocus(), but the keyPressed or keyReleased of JPanel is not being called on pressing the key in the fullscreen window. Neither it comes in the keypressed or keyReleased event of JWindow.
How to make the keyPressed or keyReleased event of JPanel or JWindow get called ?
Also when i run this application in solaris, two windows are shown, one for the fullscreen window and one for the main window. But in Windows only one window is shown in fullscreen mode.
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JWindow;
class ExFrame
extends JFrame implements KeyListener {
JWindow window;
BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
JPanel jPanel2 = new JPanel();
public ExFrame() {
this.getContentPane().setLayout(borderLayout1);
jPanel2.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("jPanel2 Pressed");
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Released");
jPanel2.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (window == null || !window.isVisible()) {
jPanel2.requestFocus();
if (window == null) {
window = new JWindow(ExFrame.this);
Dimension size = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().
getScreenSize();
window.setSize(size);
window.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Pressed");
if (ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
ExFrame.this.getContentPane().add(
jPanel2,
java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Released");
remove(jPanel2);
window.getContentPane().add(jPanel2);
window.setVisible(true);
window.toFront();
jPanel2.requestFocus();
window.requestFocusInWindow();
addKeyListener(this);
jPanel2.setBackground(Color.blue);
this.getContentPane().add(jPanel2, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Frame Released");
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Frame Pressed");
if (ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
System.exit(0);
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke) {
System.out.println("Frame Typed");
public static void main(String args[]) {
ExFrame frame = new ExFrame();
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

yeah, its part of a workaround for switching between windowed and fullscreen.
It isn't necessary to return to the original displayMode, simply setFullscreenWindow(null) will return you to the original desktops resolution.
I'll warn you now, don't even attempt switching fullscreen<->windowed mode multiple times, it will crash. It should be fixed in 1.5 though.
