mlawrence00 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 You can resize the window, bottom right hand corner, like you would resize the finder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlawrence00 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 It doesn't display it. You just click & drag near the battery icon in the FM window, well at least that works for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslee5 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 i cant even see the battery icon well, even on full screen mode, the bottom part of the game after i start it, i can only see 80% of the word :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlawrence00 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ahhh man... I presume you have looked in the game preferences at the res?! Also, tried changing the resolution in the system preferences? & hiding the dock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslee5 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 yea...at the game preference, i only got the choice of changine the horizontol resolution, not the vertical one. the vertical resolution stuck at 768 i shifted my dock to the left, but i still cant see anything at the bottom part, its like there is more stuff down there, but i cant shift it due to the toolbar of my mac besides, no matter what resolution i change at my system preference, inside the game preference, all the resolution are xxxx X 768 :S can i hide the toolbar (the bar at the top of my mac showing the apple icon one? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslee5 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 i just try to use Plistedit pro to hide the menu bar and dock when i launch FM, but then i still can barely see the words on the bottom part for instant, i can only see the icon when at main screen, but cant see which icon represents what as i cant see the icon name the grey bar of FM2010 is taking up space! grr.... btw, just wnat to ask, anything important at the bottom part when i play the game? sigh...

Lucho Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ok, found a solution here: http://www.cynosurex.com/Software/MagicMenu/ Download the app, unzip it, and open the folder that you just unzipped. Now close FM10, navigate to the FM folder, and drag the FM10 app (the icon in the folder) into the "magic menu on" icon in the downloaded folder. Log out of your account, log back in, start FM 10 and when you load your game, the menu bar will be gone and you'll be able to see the whole FM10 window. Sounds complicated but was really easy and took about 1 minute to set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlawrence00 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I;m sorry, I am out of ideas. I hope you can get some help, and enjoy the game. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitecube Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 We had this problem with FM09 too. The solution is here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070118003804854 You want the plist file to read like this near the bottom: <key>LSRequiresCarbon</key> <true/> <key>LSUIPresentationMode</key> <integer>4</integer> <key>NSAppleScriptEnabled</key> <false/> Once you've hidden the menubar, you can simply move up the FM window to the top of the screen.
