Fullscreen on OS X should be not top level about openframeworks HOT 7 CLOSED

have uploaded an example here:

http://www.openframeworks.cc/files/macOnTop.zip

note you must call "MacGLUTFix(true)" every frame or else it doesn't work. right now this is in user code, but should be in the glut window code.

But this approach requires us to add extra files to the OF folder. Or we would have to declare ofAppGlutWindow as a objcpp file type to make the cocoa calls work inside the cpp. Neither seem like ideal solutions to me.

See if you can fix it with c++ !

AFAIK, there's not much we can do if glut is cocoa based. I couldn't find a non objective c solution for this (short of modifying glut and shipping it instead of using the framework). Adding a .mm and .h to the OF folder doesn't seem that bad (it breaks backwards compatibility, and makes packaging a bit harder) compared to not fixing this, which just makes life super difficult for fullscreen mac apps.

Yeah I have been looking - I am wondering if we can just include it in a .h - or something clever like that. Will see if I can find a better solution. Otherwise maybe we have an ofMacUtils.mm where we can put mac specific stuff (like QTUtils).

There doesn't seem to be a non-cocoa way to solve this. So I tried modifying GLUT itself. It worked out pretty well - http://www.openframeworks.cc/dev_videos/customGLUT.mov

I grabbed the GLUT project from here ( http://iihm.imag.fr/blanch/howtos/MacOSXGLUTMouseWheel.html ) and just changed the fullscreen level to a normal window level.

The plus side about bundling our own GLUT is we can make other improvements too - like adding scroll wheel support and FSAA.

the GLUT framework is in GIT - need to change the examples to use the framework.

updated examples to use compiled OF ( xcode ) and Glut. Closed by 2028077. Closed by 2028077. Closed by 2028077.
