For what it's worth, MacVim.app (http://code.google.com/p/macvim/) has a fullscreen mode in which one can use command-tab to switch apps without difficulty. Whatever windows the switched-to app uses appear in front of MacVim's, and the menubar returns to visibility as well. If multiple MacVim windows were open (say, one fullscreen and the other not), they behave as they should. Obviously MacVim doesn't display pdf presentations, but the point is just that there do exist Mac apps that mix fullscreen with app-switching in a non-buggy way. I know nothing about programming, though, so I have no idea whether MacVim is engaged in hackery. But the example of MacVim shows that Apple is not making proper fullscreen behavior coupled with app-switching a general impossibility. -epicurus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
