Thanks Ian! I did see the fullscreen() function, but unfortunately I was looking for something that would keep the window titlebar.
I did some Googling, and it appears there are quite a few other FLTK posts wanting this functionality. And in one of them ( http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+v:5803 ), Win32 and Linux implementations have been posted which work really quite nicely. Are there any plans to get this added to FLTK 1.3 in the future? > > On 18 Jul 2009, at 22:56, Mark Mcvittie wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Quick question as I've searched the site but can only find > > references to FLTK 2.0.
