Can't get it out of fullscreen

Post by Caladwen »

Ok, so I accidentally went into full-screen mode and now I can only use Oolite in fullscreen. Trying Command-tab doesn't work and I have nowhere on my game options menu to switch back out of fullscreen. Currently, the only way to get out of Oolite is to close it.
Please help! Many thanks.

(If there already was a thread about this, my apologies.)

It is explained in the help menu. To see that menu you must first switch out of full screen, into windowed mode..... Aaahh, I see your problem......

Try ⌘-F for Full-screen. :P (Even when you are already in full-screen, its the same key to get out of it)

As I always say, "Don't go into fullscreen if you haven't a clue as to how to get out!" :)
In Oolite, I've pressed F11 and ruined things, and in other programs I've pressed F12 and done the same. :lol:
