Reggae Boyz Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If you are running Leopard choose system preferences -> displays (under hardware) -> choose 1024 x 768 (stretched), which will run at full screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the Mac technical forum. You shouldn't change the Leopard settings, since this will change the resolution of your display for your display itself, and you only want FM to use another resolution than its default one. To do this, you'll need to start fm.app with some parameters to set the fullscreen height and width, just as you'd do with fm.exe on a windows platform. If you can't find the information you need in the apple forum, just pm me, and I'll get you some instructions when I get home (and be able to see how I've set it up there on my own iMac).
