Start stand alone in full screen?

Hi! First, thanks for the great app/plug-ins. Fantastic stuff. I have a question. Is it possible to define an option somewhere to start the stand-alone version of G-Force (and WhiteCap as well for that matter) in full screen?

Ideally I'd like to be able to define resolution and go full screen when I launch the program so there could be a couple of ways to implement this request (if it's not already available). One method may be to implement some command line options to deal with this - pros: quick and easy, cons: doesn't "fit in" with the way config is dealt with. Another may be to allow the user to specify which boot.txt or config file to use through a command line and allow the user to define different files based on options wanted - pros: allows completely custom config at startup, cons: maybe not the most "newbie-friendly".

Thanks again for your consideration!

Is there any possibility of this? Anyone know? There's the possibility of driving more people towards G-Force Gold if this option becomes available...

Maybe this is already an option in the Gold version that I'm not aware of?

As soon as this option is confirmed or becomes available I'm personally upgrading to G-Force Gold. However G-Force won't work for what I want until then.

Hoping for a reply soon, thanks.

I Apologize for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to do what you propose. I was trying to look for fullscreen controls in both the bootfile and the prefs file (I have GF2.7 standalone for iMac) and Icould not find any way to make that happen. I suppose the best way to ensure this is to ask Andy if it's possible to add a file like StartFS or something and set the value at either 1 (true) or 0.

Thanks for the reply and thanks for checking. As an alternative to specifically adding in a full screen at start option, do we have an estimate as to when the screen saver version will be ready? That might work for me instead.

Thanks again!

Even though a screensaver version of the program is one of quite a few top-of-the-list to-do items, I haven't detected any indication as to when it will be available.

I can say, though, that business is definitely gonna pick up through these last couple months; and it's my personal hope that what you seek happens before the New Year.
