Please add full-screen mode to the next update of Accordance 10. This is an essential feature.

Am I missing the boat here? By clicking on the little green radio button in the upper left, my Accordance window went full screen on a 24" monitor. Is there something else needed?

Hi Julie,
Yes. Full-screen mode was introduced in Lion, and allow the app in question to completely fill and "own" the area of a space. There are no window bars etc, and I t gives just that extra little bit of space, specially for one with small screens, and a little less distraction, as there are no windows "behind" it. Most apple apps hace two little expan arrows on the top right corner of the title bar to allow you to access full screen mode.
Having said that, I. Personally am not fussed about having full screen mode, but I can see why some people may be.

My opinion is that the solution in v.10 is well done. I works fine for me if I need a full screen (I have a 13 inch MBP).
I agree with Julie.

Aahh - I had forgotten that, Ken, because I don't use it, not even when my MBP is not plugged into an external monitor. I like Dr J's podcasts going full-screen, but don't use it anywhere else but for an occasional video. I think the Accordance team has done such a good job of de-cluttering the app that I don't see the need. Perhaps those with 11" Airs might join in here. Those are the folks who would really see a difference.

I would ALWAYS use Accordance in full screen mode if it was available. The more space devoted to the text, the better, but some of the app's functions are limited in the current implementations of reading mode and slide show mode.

My point exactly Jonathan. Thanks! Some people would absolutely love to have full-screen mode. I am pretty sure I would never use except on my MBA. Nevertheless, I think it should be an option, but I have no idea about how hard or otherwise it would be to implement, or how soon! I wonder if it would diverge the Mac code and the Windows code substantially...<muse>

It would appear to be a matter of preference, though non-users (myself included) might try it and like it. The ability it customize is part of the Accordance (and the Mac) experience.

It's not just about the extra bit of screen real estate. I also use spaces to arrange my full-screen apps then use three finger gestures to move between them, so it's annoying if some of my apps don't support full-screen more and hence all 'pile up' in the one space.

Yes, this is the point that others not using apps in full-screen won't see, that is spaces management. I've been using it with Sparrow and Safari lately, which is nice - unless I'm switching back and forth between the two a lot. That said, it's a request that has been heard, and is on the radar.

It's not so much the screen space. As has been noted, it's mostly about management of spaces and consistency. It makes for a better user experience.

Full screen mode has one very important aspect that makes it much more appealing. When an application is put into "full screen mode" you then have the option to scroll with 3 fingers to move between the apps that have been put into full screen. I leave mail in full screen and when I want to check it all I have to do is scroll 3 fingers to the left and presto! mail appears. If accordance had this feature then I could scroll to accordance AND mail..... I think you can have any number of apps open in full screen and just swipe between them. This is a very nice feature and one of the things that sets OSX apart from Windows. Hope this helps
