Is fullscreen so hard to implement? I suppose Irrlicht and openGL support it. Maybe you can add this option, celeron55?

No it isn't too hard to Add, How ever is it too hard to click the 'Maximize Window' Button on the top right hand corner of the window?

That is essentially Full Screen just with an easy way to Tab out instead of having to hit say 'F10' to come out of full screen.

Maximazing isn't fullscreen. 1) it leaves panels and window decoration 2) the speed in real fullscreen is slightly higher than in window mode.

Irrlicht only support fullscreen as a window creation option, so it requires a restart, so I thought to leave it out.

In proper window managers you can set an application to fullscreen anyway, for me it's alt+f11 and it fills everything. (icewm)

But well, I guess it could be added as a configuration option...

I guess im going from Openbox to icewm huh ?

Well, to be honest I pesonally prefer applications maximised rather than full screen, then I still see all my ubuntu notifications and such

Yeah me too, I *hate* fullscreen, especially on Linux.

@Calinou Yup, and fullscreen is kind of a messy process on ubuntu 11.04, had to fiddle with settings before anything would work fullscreen, otherwise it'd crash the entire computer ¬_¬ then again that's probably due to my 11" netbook screen more than anything else

I tend to prefer to play Minecraft and now Minetest in maximised mode, however I know all of my friends on my server prefer to play in fullscreen, infact it was the one question they all had in common about Minetest lol.

It would be nice to add as an option if its not too hard

As far as I know Fullscreen was already added

add

This just tucks my MT window in the top right corner or my desktop with a resolution of 800x600. I've tried the screenW=1920 and screenH=1080 properties but it still only does 800x600 anchored to the top right corner of my screen with the desktop showing for the rest of my screen.

I have the following setting for my window.
It makes it almost fullscreen for me. Maybe half a dozen pixels on each side if that after title bar and borders are taken into account. It might be that you tried setting it too big for your screen so it sized it down so that the whole window could be seen. By the way, I am running it on Windows XP in case there is a slight difference in borders and title bar size between the different Windows versions.

Try these resolutions

ok i got this to work bear in in mind that the screen res given if native for my monitor, change to suit your needs acordingly.

I Placed this at the top of my /home?%username%/.minetest/minetest.conf file

screenW = 1360
screenH = 768
