The type of fullscreen mode to use.

Notes

If fullscreen mode is entered and the window size doesn't match one of the monitor's display modes (in normal fullscreen mode) or the window size doesn't match the desktop size (in 'desktop' fullscreen mode), the window will be resized appropriately. The window will revert back to its original size again when fullscreen mode is exited using this function.

Examples

Make the window fullscreen in desktop mode.

function love.load()
    love.window.setFullscreen(true, "desktop")
end

Make the window fullscreen in exclusive mode and back on F11:

function love.keypressed(key, scancode, isrepeat)
	if key == "f11" then
		fullscreen = not fullscreen
		love.window.setFullscreen(fullscreen, "exclusive")
	end
end
