OS X's fullscreen mode baffles me. A few versions ago it switch from just, y'know, fullscreening the app, to forcing fullscreened apps onto a completely different, dedicated desktop for no discernable reason, breaking Cmd-Tab and making it impossible to float another window over the fullscreened one (e.g. if I want to take notes on its content, but without extraneous GUI chrome).
Does anyone know what use case the forced desktop switch is supposed to improve?
(And the maximize button still doesn't work correctly, because maximize is not the same thing as fullscreen.)
- chrisoverzero 9y agoThe fullscreen button works correctly, because fullscreen is not the same thing as maximize.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Forcing a window to a dedicated desktop is neither fullscreen nor maximize.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoTo clarify, I literally don't understand what point chrisoverzero was trying to make. Could someone please explain instead of downvoting?
