Title: theater view to full screen??
Post by: chrisssssl on October 08, 2004, 12:23:36 pm
i currently have a dual monitor setup.  a lcd near the system, and my tv.  i found that i can launch the full screen and theater views to my tv by default (nice feature)  when  i launch theater view... and select my playlist, is there a way to make the full screen visualations show??  basically i want the little box in the lower corner to show full screen.  

i would think this could happen after say 15-xx seconds after no activity on theater view....maybe a button on theater view to go full screen.  then of course a mouse movement would bring back theater view.

i havnet started using theater view primarily yet.... so what i normally do is have the main MC running on my LCD and then the full screen visualization running on my tv.  it looks great during parties and such.  what i found is that i want to do the same thing... only using theater view.  the problem is i want them to both run on the tv.  

any ideas??

okay... i just found that i can right click the desktop and select full screen.  i guess i would further ask is there was a way to put a button or automatically toggle this.

i am working on a remote control setup and wont have the right click button
