OSX Tip: Full Screen Safari

[toosepin]

Hey guys,

Discovered this today, thought it was worth sharing. (Sorry if it's been posted before).

Anyway, I was getting fed up with accidentally always resizing the Safari windows so I found a solution.

Create a new bookmark and set the address to:

javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

Stick it on your bookmarks bar and all you need to do is click the link and it will maximise Safari to full screen.

Give it a spin.

Brownie points: Use Shift + Alt + K to make a little Apple character and use it as the bookmark text.

<3 you although

javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

safari puts %20 into the code in the space between the 'a' and the 'vail'

 

[toosepin]

Hmm, the space shouldn't be there, it's not in my original post Ah well.

Yeah bit of odd stuff going on there! works fine for me, however it does not remember it maximised when you quit and reopen

the forum software only allows words of a certain length. anything over that and it splits it in two


abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnop



like that ^^^

I guess that might come in handy sometime. I never really have it maximised though, seems like a waste of space if your resolution is wider than 1024px.
