Fullscreen Window - Dumb beginner question

[Qube]

This is probably the most stupid question but..

On MacOS I'm trying to open a fullscreen window which is actually fullscreen and doesn't just maximise the window leaving the dock bar in view still. No problems with OpenScreen but it's more preferred these days to open a full screen window than force a resolution change.

Am I missing something really stupid? thanks in advance.

This code is fullscreen windowed on windows. I don't own a MAC, but I assumed it should be the same. Could you test it? Is the dockbar visible?
(I'm curious)

Code: Select all

ExamineDesktops()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()
OpenWindow(0,0,0,DesktopUnscaledX(DesktopWidth(0)),DesktopUnscaledY(DesktopHeight(0)),"Sprite Creation", #PB_Window_BorderLess)
OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0),0,0,WindowWidth(0),WindowHeight(0),1,0,0,#PB_Screen_SmartSynchronization)
SetFrameRate(60)

;Sprite Creation
  CreateSprite(1,64,64,#PB_Sprite_AlphaBlending)
  StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(1))
  DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_AllChannels)
  Box(0,0,OutputWidth(),OutputHeight(),RGBA(0,0,0,0)) ; This sets the alpha channel to transparent fully
  Circle(OutputWidth()/2,OutputHeight()/2,SpriteHeight(1)/2-1,RGBA(255,0,0,255)) ; drawing a red circle
  StopDrawing()

Repeat
  Repeat: Until Not WindowEvent()
  ExamineKeyboard() : ExamineMouse() : ClearScreen(RGB(50,20,20))
  
  DisplayTransparentSprite(1,ScreenWidth()/2-SpriteWidth(1)/2,ScreenHeight()/2-SpriteHeight(1)/2)  
  
  FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)

Unfortunately the dock is still visible and the title bar of the app is still there. Any other tips and tricks I can try?

@miso

Your code also works as described on Linux.

I'm still on PB 611 at the moment, if that makes a difference?

Thanks! I was wondering, as I only test things in Windows, and was sure that this would have the same output in the other 2 OS.
(On windows it looks like a true fullscreen)
(If anyone knows the solution Linux- and MAC-wise for a windowed fullscreen, I'm also pretty much interested.)

@miso

I'm not sure if you misunderstood my comment? It works fine on Linux, fullscreen, no titlebar or dock/panel showing.

Ah, thanks again. Yes, I totally misunderstood. It's a relief.

AppleScript/UI Hack:

Code: Select all

Procedure simpleShell(ShellCommand$)
   Protected shell = RunProgram("/bin/sh","","", #PB_Program_Open|#PB_Program_Write)
   If shell
      WriteProgramStringN(shell,ShellCommand$)
      WriteProgramData(shell,#PB_Program_Eof,0)
      CloseProgram(shell)
   EndIf
EndProcedure

ExamineDesktops()
InitSprite():InitKeyboard():InitMouse()
OpenWindow(0,0,0,DesktopUnscaledX(DesktopWidth(0)),DesktopUnscaledY(DesktopHeight(0)),"Sprite Creation",
   #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)
OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0),0,0,WindowWidth(0),WindowHeight(0),1,0,0,#PB_Screen_SmartSynchronization)
SetFrameRate(60)

simpleShell(~"osascript -e 'tell application \"System Events\" to set value of attribute \"AXFullScreen\" of front window of (first process whose frontmost is true) to true' > /dev/null 2>&1 &")

;Sprite Creation
  CreateSprite(1,64,64,#PB_Sprite_AlphaBlending)
  StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(1))
  DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_AllChannels)
  Box(0,0,OutputWidth(),OutputHeight(),RGBA(0,0,0,0)) ; This sets the alpha channel to transparent fully
  Circle(OutputWidth()/2,OutputHeight()/2,SpriteHeight(1)/2-1,RGBA(255,0,0,255)) ; drawing a red circle
  StopDrawing()

Repeat
  Repeat: Until Not WindowEvent()
  ExamineKeyboard() : ExamineMouse() : ClearScreen(RGB(50,20,20))
  DisplayTransparentSprite(1,ScreenWidth()/2-SpriteWidth(1)/2,ScreenHeight()/2-SpriteHeight(1)/2)  
  FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)

Thanks, Piero. Good to have a solution, OP will be glad if that works.

@ Piero, that works perfectly, thank you very much

Ahh, more PB magic to look into. I feel like such a newbie again

Having a good look into PB since Apple have said that Rosetta 2 will be removed in a couple of years and as an AGK Studio user on MacOS the main IDE was never compiled to ARM and even though they've released the source code it's just error after error trying to get the IDE to compile.

As PB's IDE is ARM on MacOS then time to leap into PB

PB magic

I would call it:
"How to easily run shell (''''Terminal'''') stuff in PB (including AppleScripts via the 'osascript' command)"
