Full-Screen Apps In Mac OSX LION

Full-Screen Apps In Mac OSX LION

Another new feature introduced in Lion is system-wide support for full-screen apps. While full-screen apps have been around for years (most web browsers, for example, as well as apps such as iPhoto and, more recently, Pages or Microsoft Word), it’s always been a tacked on feature that has never worked well with the rest of the operating system. Going full-screen in a browser, for example, usually blocks access to the rest of the system. Going full-screen in Pages works great until you need to swap to another application; Pages then leaves full-screen mode until you re-enable it.
In Lion, full-screen functionality is an integral part of the system. Any application which can be made full-screen will have the same symbol in the same location – two diagonal arrows pointing away from each other in the top right hand corner of the window.
When you click on this button, the app enters into full-screen mode. At this point, it creates its own Space, which you can see at the top of the screen in Mission Control. You can also swipe between full-screen apps and the main desktop (as well as other Spaces) by swiping left and right with three or four fingers (depending on your settings in the Trackpad preference pane.)
The idea of full-screen apps is to give you that little bit of extra screen real-estate. This has two major effects: First, even that little bit of extra room for the app makes a big difference when it comes to the feel of the app. Second, when an app is in full-screen mode, all you see is the app, making it much easier to focus on the task at hand (while still making it easy to get to other apps when you need to).
When in full-screen mode, the menu bar and the dock are hidden. However, you can reveal the menu bar by moving the cursor to the top of the screen. To reveal the dock you need to move the cursor to the bottom of the screen and then move the cursor downwards again.
Lion comes with quite a few apps that can go full-screen; iCal, iTunes, Mail, Terminal, Safari, Photo Booth, Preview, DVD Player, QuickTime Player, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand can all go full screen. Although iWork is not included with Lion itself, all the iWork apps are full-screen compatible, too.
The great thing about full-screen apps, though, is that because it’s built directly into Lion it’s really easy for developers to add the functionality into their own apps. Already more and more applications are showing up on the Mac App Store with full-screen support.
The one big downside to full-screen apps is that right now there is next to no support for multiple displays when in fullscreen mode – the other screen is just greyed out and cannot be used by windows from other applications.

Corrupted OS SOLVED! I was looking for a computer repair shop because my dell laptop didn't want to reboot. Good thing I was able to find WLACS in Santa Monica because their staff were so professional and kind. After talking with them I realized that some of my data got corrupted and all they needed to do was to recover those corrupted data.

expensive(mac book, major water damage). this guys are definitely a character. At the end of the day this guys are professional people who care about their reputation and knows what he's doing. He delivered far beyond my expectations. Repaired Macbook (upgrade in memory at my bequest. Though he lacks the man power of a bigger repair company, I would enthusiastically recommend them and I use them again if ever needed. The quality workmanship and much lower cost seemed to good to be true, but, surprisingly it wasn't.
