For any one interested without downloading.. its just,

winset(src, "default", "is-maximized=true")


* Note: Need to uncheck the main windows titlebar, statusbar, and optionally, the resize option.

I figured a number of people would jump on this as being too trivial so let me just say this. It was one of the most downloaded examples in the Resource Center which suggests it's not as straight forward for people new to BYOND and/or interfaces. Secondly, it's more than just one line of code. You have to modify the interface window to get true full screen vs maximized.

But all you have is one line of code in this demo...

True but he also has a interface file .. with a default window at 640 x 480 which means nothing.

I think the important part in this demo is this line:

* Note: Need to uncheck the main windows titlebar, statusbar, and optionally, the resize option.

I think this is proving my point just a little bit. ;) Simple, but not obvious.

Sorry, third post. And I noticed this demo is C style. That's cool but that's not how the majority of people on Byond write, evident by the official guide not being written using braces.

C-based languages aren't the only language that uses curly brackets.

erm. having to edit your interface is stupid, especially if you're just popping this feature into a game.

winset(src,"default","titlebar=false")
winset(src,"default","is-maximized=true")


is a better example to provide to new users.

That's true but I do believe C used them first.

It didn't.
