[RFE] Use Mac OS X [native] Fullscreen APIs

[Kroc]

Wow, that’s the most hostile registration process I’ve ever seen... Anyway;

I’m not a coder (not of Java anyway) but here’s something important LWJGL is going to need going forward.

When going fullscreen, please utilise the native Mac OS X fullscreen APIs (OS X Lion and above). This way, the fullscreen application goes into its own workspace, and the user can easily switch between open windows whilst in fullscreen.

At the moment it is a pain to have to bring Minecraft out of fullscreen, in order to refer to something in my web browser, when OS X handles this fine with other apps.

Worse than minor nuisance is that if Minecraft locks up whilst in fullscreen, there is absolutely no way to exit the app. I have to forcibly cut the power! That’s not going to cut the mustard!

Hoping you consider this,
Kind regards

Kroc Camen.

Thank you, we try our best to root out the weed

We need to change a fair bit on osx for java 7 - chief among this is a full cocoa backend, which should solve these issues.
No ETA for this work though.

Thanks, just glad to have it acknowledged.

I look forward to the day I’ll be able to play Minecraft and refer to my browser without so much fuss.
