Show in windowed-full screen rather than true-full screen - how to enable it? - Hersan - 2013-07-12
Hi
I was trying out various settings when I came to "Show in windowed-full screen rather than true-full screen" (it¨s on picture on the front page of your new webpage, which is nice btw). It's enabled by default, but of course I disabled it, the screen went black. I had to reboot the computer to "see" anything again, now every time I start xbmc it's black.
How can I enable that setting again without doing it in the gui (since it's all black)?
OSX ML 10.8.4
Thanks.

Guess that's why they put in the "Advanced" settings ;-)
Don't know if it will help, but you might try hitting backslash '\', which alternates between full screen and windowed. It might get you back in control.

@Glorious1
Yea, I'm on vacation, too much spare time and I was feeling lucky
Of course I should have read up on what the implications the setting might have, but I didn't and now I'm in this mess. Thanks for the tip, didn't help through.
Any other suggestions? (besides reinstalling the entire program, don't want my library gone
Regards

WOHO, I fixed it myself
If anyone is so stupid like me to change that setting when on OSX, read the wiki, all GUI settings i stored in:
/Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/
Change: <fakefullscreen>false</fakefullscreen> into <fakefullscreen>true</fakefullscreen> and then your done.
Regards

Good to know. You might want to give the name of the file that's in too.
