Hi Sharok

The context menu is invisible when in full screen, If you right click the screen you'll see the box flashing, if you take a guess as to where the slot with enter exit full screen option is you can still click it.

I've done it many times.

Hello juxtiphi

Now that's what I call a real professional solution to a problem, seriously, is that the only way to exit Aeon using the mouse?

Hi Guys,

Made a mistake, I thought this was in the G-force forum.

The escape key works to exit full screen in Aeon but it does not work the same in G-force.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for alerting us to this. We're working hard on it. However, I'd like to let you know that I was able to exit G-Force 5.03 with the Esc key, as well as the Shift+Enter.

Normally I do not shut my computer off at all unless I have to. In this case I hadn't shut my comp down in months, yesterday I applied a crap load of windows updates and had to restart my comp several times. Today I read your post and put G-force in fullscreen and of course 'now' the escape key works .

My computer gives me bad intell all the time :oops:

Kinda strange that you guys cannot get the context menu to show while in fullscreen. It flashes in and out when you right click the screen. There has to be a way to make it show, No?

I can get the menu while in fullscreen (right click), but I do not know how to use the mouse to get out of the full screen mode.

Depends a lot on the player you are using. In J.River Media Center I can double click the display to go back into a window, Also from my other monitor I can switch re-attach the display or switch visualizer etc etc.

Hi Sharok

Your post is a bit confusing, you say you can see the context menu but you dont know how to get out of fullscreen with the mouse.

Well if you can right click the screen and see the context menu then it should be a no brainer to click the enter/exit fullscreen option which is right there in the second line of the menu.

If you can see the menu but not 'use' the menu because the mouse doesnt work when you click it then thats another story

The menu I see is not the one you're talking about. I see the context menu that you're talking about only in a NON-FULL screen mode. The other menu that I see, appears by left clicking on the screen which does not have the option to exit the full screen.

Then I guess you're right, I cannot use the context menu when I'm in full screen mode.

Thanks again for your help.

THANK YOU. IT WORKED FOR ME.

I just tried it and left clicked after a right click by guestimating the area where the "Enter/Exit Full Screen" was located and it worked.

Many thanks for the work around.
