About fullscreen mode

Java 2D
#1

Hi!

I’m developing a slideshow java application but I’m new to the whole Java 2D world. I’ve read some things about the fullscreen mode only available for windows and I’d like my app to run in linux too, is that true ? which is the alternative option, then ? Can you point me in the right direction, please ?

thanks

I’m not sure if FSEM works properly (or even at all) on all platforms, but you can simulate a fullscreen window by:

  1. Setting the size of your Frame/JFrame to the size of the display screen.

  2. Call setUndecorated(true). This would remove the borders on a window.

One more question, can I use BufferStrategy outside FSEM ?

Sure, you can use it in windowed mode aswell.
