Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode

[VideroBoy]

Using love.graphics.toggleFullscreen() can get me from windowed to fullscreen mode, but not the other way around. When I'm in fullscreen, I'm stuck in fullscreen. Is it possible to make a fullscreen game switch back to windowed mode?

Yup, same here.

toggleFullscreen should* work, but if it really doesn't you can always do it the hard-core way:

Code: Select all

--love.graphics.setMode( width, height, fullscreen, vsync, fsaa )
love.graphics.setMode(love.graphics.getWidth(), love.graphics.getHeight(), false )

* In theory.

love.graphics.setMode(love.graphics.getWidth(), love.graphics.getHeight(), false )

This is how I ended up doing it.

A bug report is in order, perhaps?

Interesting. It should be noted that love.graphics.toggleFullscreen() returns a boolean - true if LÖVE thinks it succeeded, false if it doesn't. I'm assuming that in this situation it returns false?

[VideroBoy]

I didn't actually check the return value. I should probably do that sometime.

I assume love.graphics.toggleFullscreen() switches in and out of fullscreen mode properly for most other people then?

[Robin]

AFAIK, yes.

I also have this problem. Glad to see it's not just me.

I guess, if it helps, I'll mention I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.3 with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card.

Setting the mode directly like Robin suggested works perfectly as I said, so what is toggleFullscreen doing differently exactly?

Happens with me to. lol
