Pre-Lion, fullscreen just meant making a borderless window that covered a screen; changing the presentationOptions was optional. On Macs with multiple monitors, if the screen being used didn't have the menu or dock there'd be no need to change anything. There's also an NSView fullScreenMode - it wasn't useful for my purposes so I don't know what it affects. And then an app might have been written pre-10.5 and use SystemUIMode, or even just raise the window level so it was above the menubar._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
