[MacRuby-devel] Fullscreen sample app

[Eloy Duran]

For completeness sake; I just read this difference explanation in the  
article [1] that the code was based on:

“There are two basic types of fullscreen on the Mac:

	• Screen takeover — where one view gains exclusive control of the  
screen.
	• Basic fullscreen window — where a regular window occupies the whole  
screen without occlusions.

The first is normally recommended for games where you never want the  
window to be interrupted. For an example of this type of window, see  
my earlier post An Asteroids-Style Game in Core Animation: Part 1.

The second option has the advantage that it can be interrupted by  
other windows. For example: Exposé, Command-Tab and notification  
windows will continue to function. This is the approach that I will  
detail in this post.”
