Full screen display control

Post #1by spacedonkey » 04.08.2005, 13:10

Is it possible to toggle full screen display mode from a script command?

Yes. :D
In the Celestia icon "Properties" write as follows (change whar differs, obviously):

C:\Programs\Celestia\celestia.exe --fullscreen 8O

This is OK with WIN XP.
Please note that after .exe there are TWO spaces, not one. :wink:
Enjoy!
Bye

Thanks Andrea,

This method is OK to launch Celestia in full screen mode but it can't be used to turn full screen off again under the control of another program, which is what I wanted to do. That's why I wondered if there was a script command to do this.

Sorry, I don't know if it's possible, but I have some doubt.
Hope someone else will give info on the matter. :wink:

If you mean that you wish to switch to full screen using a CEL or CELX script, it does not seem that this is possible.

Sorry.
