[MacRuby-devel] Fullscreen sample app

[Michael Jackson]

I was going for the second approach (i.e. resize the window to the
size of the screen but don't "take it over") because I like to keep
the cmd-tab functionality. I've actually enhanced the example today to
work with windows that have toolbars. I'll update it when I get the
chance (may not be for a week because I'm on vacation for the next few
days!).

Thanks,

Michael
