Hi Michel

I am using ver 1.3.1f06\. Just updated today

I have the full version and wish to run the show in demo mode etc.

thanks

Just a thought.. but are you launching Isadora at system startup?
If so you might be better off to let the system start (add a 5 to 10 minute delay) and then launch Isadora.
It might be that a system process that opens takes over system focus for a moment and pulls the bar to the foreground, the dealy may allow this to occur before Isadora goes full screen.

The thing is that OS X doesn't put Isadora to the front it just gets launched and the finder will stay in front.
I made an apple script and placed it in an automator workflow. Just put it in your startup items next to the Izzy File you want to start and the script puts Isadora to the front.

Hi

Many thanks for the input and the script.

I took DusX idea and looked at mac's automator. It worked!

I have set up ical with my dates and set it to trigger the automator file. I placed ical in the login start up folder and this triggered it all perfectly.

Thanks for the tip re the delay. It gave me the idea to look at automator. I have never used it before but a handy piece of software. Very smart indeed.

@Michel: Thanks for the script. Much appreciated.

Thank you all for the help.

Great solution.
Meantime when you said "I have disabled the 2nd space option on the mac."... Do you mean that that you did uncheck in MIssion Control in System Preferences 'Displays Have separate spaces'?
(screen grab attached) That should normally prevent the menu bar from showing when in full screen mode on Mavericks.

It is like @eamon says I tested it. The "Displays Have separate spaces" solution doesn't work for the main screen and that was his problem.

Hello, I’m running Izzy on 10.9.4 and I also can’t get the menu bar to go away by disabling the 2nd space option on the mac in mission control. I tried Michaels script but it didn’t work for me though maybe I don’t understand it. Is there an easy way to fix this since it makes Izzy unusable on this OS if we can’t get fullscreen like every mac OS ever before this one;-) Any help is appreciated.

Now it works. Thanks Michel I think I just needed to restart my computer;-) Maybe there is some way to embed that code in Izzy so if it detects 10.9 it just makes it work from the beginning all by itself;-) Thanks for the fix
