I believe u’re trying to achieve, is to take control over the user’s
desktop and start to manipulate his interaction with it, whithout him
actually noticing anything? … if that is the case, i think you will
have to dig deaper than just using a jitter object, because starting a
fullscreen *custom drawn , user controlled* visualization is something
that asks quite some things from the system, and still is kind of a hard
virtual switch between drawing contexts… at least if you have to work
at the fancy@ upper layers like programming in jitter.
I think, u would at least have to consider designing a custom object…
But what i’m thinking of is this, if u’re trying to get the user in a
state where he thinks everything’s ok, but actually u’re in control,
Than u could incorporate the *being black for while* thing into the
setup… imagine: the user is working as usaully, all of sudden …
black!…. ???… the screen appears again but a warning message is
displayed …. an black again!…. ???? … what the…. screen comes
back…. no warning message no more… huh? is everything still ok than?…
what i’m trying to say is, that it might be a lot easier if u try to
incorporate the blanking of the screen into the concept, Plus, depending
on what u’re trying to achieve it really might be a Plus to have some
stuff blanking… huh? huh?….

good luck

@= no offense! fancy is not a bad thing, right?…i just mean for c i
need my dirty clothes, but when i work jitter i’m on my sunday’s best … ;)

I always seem to notice a small moment of black. Is it possible with some option to do this?

For max 4.5 replace io.window with windowmanager found here:

If the wheel doesn’t work for you, it’s best to reinvent it.

Instead of using fullscreen message, you could manually set jit.window to
cover entire desktop, with some tricks along the way:
