True fullscreen mode on OS X

[acdha]

This doesn't appear to have been previously reported but v333's full screen mode on OS X doesn't prevent the menu bar or dock from showing every time you move the mouse near the relevant screen edge, which I tend to do a LOT in IE-style games.

 

OS X has a kiosk API which allows full control over this feature, unlike the regular fullscreen API:

I've actually reported it a while ago

Have you played another Unity game with proper fullscreen on OSX? Our hands might be tied if this is the case unfortunately.

I don't play that often so I don't know about other Unity games.

 

However it looks like Unity supports both fullscreen modes (with and without the ability to show the dock/menu bar):

Sigh – I searched for quite a few variations on that term to see if it'd already been reported and that post never turned up.

 

Thanks for posting the API docs, too – I was just about to share that link and based on http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-4.3 it looks like FullscreenWindow is expected to work that way: “Mac Standalone Player: When in FullscreenWindow fullscreen mode without showing menu bar and dock, disable Application switching, as it would not correctly keep the Dock hidden.”
