I'm new to XBMC and I hope I'm not posting a question that has been answered previously... I've searched and have only found 1 related post but there was nothing conclusive.

I can't get XBMC to run fullscreen. It runs in a window in the top middle of my TV. Everything seems "fully functional"... this is just a resolution issue.

I see a thin "grey bar" at the top of the screen (4 pixels maybe) that appears to be the "bottom" of the OS X menu bar. The window that XBMC "runs in" has the typical OS X widgets of a red, yellow, and green button in the top left... although the green button is "grey". The window appears to be aprox 2/3 high and 2/3 width of "fullscreen".

I have changed the resolution of my ATV (in the ATV settings menu) to 1080i, 1080p and 720p and all appear to behave the same. My current settings are 720p. The ATV is attached to a Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42" plasma TV via HDMI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

2 options:
- update Launcher to 3.0, it should pass "-fs" (aka fullscreen) to XBMC (XBMCLauncher -> Downloads)
- in XBMC, go to Settings ->Appearance->Screen and set to the one that mentions "Fullscreen"
