nahladahl Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 So I recently download firestorm viewer. When I go into fullscreen I can't view my other windows such as my desktop and browsers. I also have a macbook. Is there any way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recommmend using Firestorm in full screen mode on a Mac for the reasons you just cited. That mode doesn't seem to honor the screen's native resolution and (for me at least) runs at much lower resolution. To disable it, go to Avatar->Preferences->Graphics and uncheck "Fullscreen Mode", then restart the viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monti Messmer Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hi, isn´t that what fullscreen means, no matter what OS. "Games" in fullscreen disable the windowing functionalitiy, remove all command bars ..... It is not let a window use the whole screen -> on your desktop it is use the whole screen of your PC Monti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwenting Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Monti is right, full screen mode is implicitly exclusive mode. It has to be as the application takes total control over the video hardware. Resolution can be less than windowed, depending on how you configure it (or how it's automatically configured for you).
