whoismilan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 So, Lion is out finally out. As you all know, the normal full screen mode in the game just makes it take over the whole screen, but does anyone know if it's possible to trick it into running in the new Lion full screen mode where it sits in it's own space? Currently I'm running it windowed in it's own space, but of course full screen would be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfc_ozzie1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'd be interested to know this also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strankan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If you're not afraid of some hacking, this could be a way. http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/25/hackinations-making-any-os-x-app-full-screenable-in-lion/ Do read the comments below though because it looks like there can be issues using this hack.

RandomGuy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but is anyone aware of a way of doing this (apart from the hack linked to above)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj2kuk Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just posted this on another similar thread, but it fits here too. I just start it in windowed mode, then click window > full screen mode when I want it full screen. Then just cmd + tab to take it back to windowed mode. Don't see why you need the full screen icon really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The benefit of having it on a 'separate desktop' is it allows for better application management. For instance, I can have Safari, iTunes and other applications all on their own desktop, which means I can then swipe back and forth on the trackpad or mouse (CTRL+left/right) to access different applications. It's a very intuitive and quick way of managing open applications, in my opinion. Anyway, what you've recommended is similar to what I am doing. I am essentially pressing ALT+ENTER to alternate between full screen and windowed. Does the job, but not as simple as the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
