General / Mac window problems

Don't worry about the answer time. You've no obligation (as I have none too).

Thanks for the notice about the desktop mode. I would like you to do some tests : could you check whether the desktop mode matches your primary or external monitor resolution ? I'm almost positive on the answer but I'd like to hear it from you.

And... as for the external display, do you think it would be better if SFML was using the biggest screen, or just kept using the primary screen ?

sf::VideoMode::GetDesktopMode() returns the video mode of the primary display, and uses the primary display.  It's only when I specify the size that strange things happen.

I would say that using the primary display (As opposed to just the largest one) would be desired, as the user can control that, and it seems to be an intuitive behavior.

Could you download the latest sources from the Subversion repository, build the SFML frameworks (trunk) and tell me if the issue is still present ?

Odd;  I downloaded the latest revision from SVN and built it, but it still exhibits the same behavior.

Interestingly, this works:

sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode::GetDesktopMode(), "Some Window Title", sf::Style::Fullscreen);

However this does what I described earlier:
//sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800,600,32), "Some Window Title", sf::Style::Fullscreen);

This behavior hasn't changed from the stable 1.5 release and the latest SVN version;  I just thought it pertinent to point out.

Thanks for looking at this Ceylo!  I'm sorry I couldn't test it more quickly for you -- I've been quite busy recently.

Sure, I'll try to do that tomorrow.

I suppose the external display is wider and considered as your main display, right ?

That's right.

Uh... I think I didn't understand everything. Your laptop's screen resolution changes, but the SFML window is shown in the external screen ?

Hi!

I'm sorry, that did seem a bit confusing the way I worded it.
I've got the menubar on the external monitor.  The external monitor changes resolutions, but the borderless window appears on the laptop screen.

So for instance if I try to create a fullscreen window with resolution 800x600, the external monitor switches to 800x600, while the laptop screen stays at 1440x900, and an 800x600 borderless window appears on that laptop screen.

I hope that clarifies things a bit -- again I apologize for being unclear.

Did you try to hide/show the mouse cursor with a minimal program to make sure it is not related to something else ?

I haven't -- I will try that and report back.

The first issue turns out to be completely unrelated to SFML -- I resolved that oddity.

The other two issues remain.

Hi!

I'm having a couple of issues with the Mac build of SFML.

First, Whenever an app using OpenGL launches, the window appears, but I have to move the window myself before processing starts.

This happens with both my app and the included OpenGL tutorial.  Either a white screen, or corruption appears until I move the window around with the mouse.  It works fine after that.

I'm using OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and SFML 1.5.


My second issue is with creating a fullscreen window with multiple monitors  (I'm using a Macbook Pro with an external display).  It works fine if I use the current desktop resolution, but if I choose a different (lower) resolution, the primary (external) monitor changes resolutions, and the app appears superimposed over the screen on the secondary monitor -- it changes the resolution on primary, shows the borderless window on the secondary.

The third problem is a relatively minor one compared to the above two.  I want to hide the cursor on the app itself (I display a sprite cursor), but have the cursor appear outside of the window.  I've tried testing if the mouse coords are outside the window bounds (< 0 or > width/height), and I call the showCursor method to set it appropriately.  This works, but there is a 3 to 5 second delay before the cursor appears again, which is highly annoying.

Any help would be appreciated!
