no full screen on Mac 23" cinema display

Post by scott lough »

I am new here - be gentle.

I have been enjoying G-Force Platinum since purchasing it about two months ago. It looks amazing on my Mac and I have almost got it the way I want it however, I cannot get it go full screen on my Apple 23" Cinema Display (1920x1200) from within itunes. Instead, I get the top and bottom 1/5 of the screen as black bars. I know full screen is possible on my system, because the screensaver mode goes full screen.

I have set the correct screen res and full screen options in the "H" help options on screen, made sure the "make visualizer full screen" option is checked in iTunes prefs, and set the maximum frame height to "no limit" in the G-Force toolbar, (I don't think that will help...).

What next?

I now have the latest version of G-Force, but still cannot get full screen. Any suggestions?

YOu might try editing the preference file for G-Force. Go to your user Library>Preference>G-Force>Preferences (iTunes) and set

MaxX=1920
MaxY=1200


iTunes should not be running when you do this. Save the pref file and launch iTunes and see if it worked. If not try this setting in the pref file

MaxX=10000
MaxY=10000

which is what the screensaver uses.

Hallelujah! The maxY was set to 0. Thank you, now I can "fully" enjoy this cool app.
