Hi there,

I've stumbled across a minor annoyance I'd like to talk about with you, at least with those using Mac OSX 10.7 or above. Any help would be highly appreciated!


The situation:

I start up the MPC application regularely (in 32 Bit mode, although this should make no difference). After this, I make it full screen (see red square):

By doing this, you make up room for "more MPC" by hiding the dock and the title bar automatically (see picture; since the cursor is at the top of the screen the title bar shows anyway):

Picture 2 - FS MPC.



Furthermore, the MPC gets it's very own desktop you can change from and to via the usual swiping gestures or keyboard shortcuts. It'll reside in it until you exit full screen mode:

The question:

Is there any way to start the MPC app in full screen right away? Naturally, most programmes that were shut down in full screen mode do start up in full screen again. Not the MPC software, it doesn't remember window sizes or full screen, it just pops into it's standard slightly-below-screen-resolution-setting as always.

Anyway, is there a way to make the MPC app start in full screen by an automator script or anything?

Thanks in advance!

That would have been really easy if MPC software had an "Enter Full Screen" menu like every Mac app that support full screen or at least a shortcut.
So I think the answer is no.
