Fullscreen Patch

Sven Löchner's icon

Hey guys,

I'm quite new to Max and I'm searching for the fullscreen button in Max 7.2.3. I had a Max trial a while ago, it was version 7.0 or something like that and I could put it into fullscreen mode on my Macbook. The new version doesn't seem to have this option or am I missing something?

Thanks
Sven

i have no idea about fullscreen in max7 and i would recommend against this fancy built-in stuff anyway.

regular fullscreen mode for the current active windows is first of all archieved by

"fullscreen 1" - [thispatcher]

but you might want to try to match the size of the windows to the size of your screen as one slightly more flexible alternative.

"window notitle, window size 1920 1200, window execute" - [thispatcher]

in combination with

";
max hidemenubar" (in a single, unconnected messagebox)

will give you exactly the same thing.

...but lets you re-enable the menubar _during fullscreen mode.

and of course this way you can also set a window size _bigger or _smaller than your screen, for example across 3 monitors and with a slim margin on the bottom.)

Cool, thank you, this is exactly what I searched for: fullscreen patcher with the possibility to reenable the menubar.
Thank you

when you work with windows like this, it might be wise to have a little patch with

[loadbang]
[message ";
max showmenubar"]

accessible somewhere in your desktop, startmenu, applemenu or a similar place.
