All too often people say "fullscreen" when in fact they mean "borderless windowed". The difference is crucial. For the latter, you don't do anything short of setting some additional flags on your window and size it to display resolution. For the real fullscreen, you'll have to code your own engine dealing with graphics hardware on OpenGL/DirectX level. And then get complaints from people with more than one monitor, that they can't use both simultaneously. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, November 29, 2016 14:32:17 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
