I looked at the code snippet, and I think the method they're using may actually work on 10.6.8. Let me play with it this week and get back to you. It looks like a fairly painless mod, regardless. Apple has unfortunately made it somewhat more difficult for us to tinker with various OS X versions by virtue of no longer selling them on DVD (you can't even buy 10.7 anymore, apparently), and even more unfortunately, I have found out that Parallels doesn't support running 10.7 or 10.8 as a guest on a 10.6 host, so my choices are somewhat limited for testing those newer versions without either spending hours and hours of tinkering or buying a new computer. Since I do a lot of development on this machine, I want to keep it at 10.6 for as long as possible. >> There is an option to disable the toolbar.

Ah, yes. There are apparently ways to disable the taskbar from a native app, because Parallels Desktop does it when it is in full-screen mode. Hoping that the eawt interface is the key to that in Java as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: BUILD Helping you discover the best ways to construct your parallel projects. http://goparallel.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ VirtualGL-Devel mailing list VirtualGL-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/virtualgl-devel
