Fullscreen trouble

[Violette]

Hello, how goes it!

I enjoy Mudlet, but here is what happens when I want it to stay in Fullscreen mode (I use Mac OS; Mudlet 3.0.0). It inevitably shrinks on its own to a tiny little square on the lower left size of the screen, though a background fullscreen window of all black is still up. I've tried resizing the little square to as large a window as possible, but it "springs back" into the same square.

Thank you......

Do you have more than one screen/monitor?

Are you running with the netbook/small screen option set - that will put the full-screen toggle button on the Main Toolbar (though for some odd reason it uses totally the wrong icon for it)? Having just looked at the code in that area I see that the current code can get a bit confused between the normal - maximized - full-screen state (and it does not track the maximized state).

I do not not enough about Mac OS to say how to switch between various window states though I know that on my Linux box Alt-F3 brings up a useful control for these things (I just found I could remove the borders from the browser window I am typing this in on!)

If you want to remove the enforced full screen setting that using the netbook/small screen gives you and you cannot get a big enough screen to work in you can delete the zero length file: "mudlet_option_use_smallscreen" that is used to save the setting between sessions. It is in the base directory that Mudlet stores it's data in - though where THAT will be on a Mac I do not know off the top of my head...

See below (taken from a snapshot from my PC that is running Mudlet full-screen - on the bottom screen as I currently use two - and with a file manager running in the top one showing the file used to save the setting):

The problem is 3.0.0-delta for the Mac OS. It has a very similar issue regardless of how you have the window set up, and constantly tries to resize to an unusably small window size. I recommend using either 2.1, or compiling a more recent version from the current code base, either of which does not suffer from this. I don't remember exactly where, but someone has a thread up with a later compiled version of 3.0.0 for the Mac, which has worked fairly well for me so far.

That thread has links to binaries built about 5 months ago. I do know OSX users have mentioned it works much better. They are pre-release / un-official binaries i.e. use at own risk. I believe there's likely to be an official binary showing up real soon now if you prefer to wait.

Thank you for helping me. Installing an earlier version solved the issue!

3.0-epsilon was released over the weekend - It has all of the osx fixes working in it.

There is however a known bug when creating new profiles: It will crash when you start creating one, however, if you restart mudlet after the crash the profile will now exist and you can edit/use it. This has been fixed, and an updated version is expected to be created in the next couple weeks.

Ah, thank you. Mudlet is a super sweet MUD client
