Hi @all,

How to change the Fullscreen Presentation in BlitzMax GUI under MacOS X.
first you have to modify the bmk.bmx load it and search for Info.plist

		t=WriteStream( exeDir+"/Contents/Info.plist" )
		If Not t Throw "Unable to create Info.plist"
		t.WriteLine "<?xml version=~q1.0~q encoding=~qUTF-8~q?>"
		t.WriteLine "<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC ~q-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN~q ~qhttp://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd~q>"
		t.WriteLine "<plist version=~q1.0~q>"
		t.WriteLine "<dict>"
' Presentationmode after startup
' insert this
		t.WriteLine "~t<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<integer>0</integer>"

		t.WriteLine "~t<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<string>"+appId+"</string>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<string>"+appId+"</string>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>"
		t.WriteLine "~t<key>APPL</key>"
		t.WriteLine "</dict>"
		t.WriteLine "</plist>"

After you have inserted this two lines build the bmk.bmx without DEBUG and Build GUI APP

Copy it to the bin directory of the BlitzMax folder.

You Blitzmax Application have now a new entry in the Info.plist in the ApplicationBundle called LSUIPresentationMode. You can set the value from 0 to 4.

You can read more about it here:
