In Engine's package properties, we offer you an opportunity to open new windows as "Full Screen".
What this does under the hood is simply use JavaScript's Window.open with "fullscreen=yes" supplied among the window features parameters.
In the landscape of contemporary browsers--Chrome, IE, Safari, and Firefox--only Internet Explorer actually supports the window feature and implements it by maximizing the window.
There are a few possible improvements we could make to Engine's implementation:
- user agent detection and window size detection could be combined to try to create a nearly fullscreen window for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox
- leveraging the Fullscreen API, which has fairly widespread support among browsers
In versions of Engine up to and including Engine 2014.1.x, though, it's worth understanding how we attempt to implement "full screen" and its limitations.
