Enable full screen using seesaw?

Question

How can I make my seesaw program full screen when F11 is pressed? (not just maximized)

I currently have this:

(defn toggle-full-screen [e]
  (-> (to-root e)
    magic!)

(def full-screen-action  (action  :name "Full Screen" :tip "Full Screen"     
                                  :mnemonic \f        :key (keystroke "F11")
                                  :handler toggle-full-screen))
(def view-menu (menu  :text "View"
                      :mnemonic \v
                      :items [full-screen-action]))

(def top-menubar (menubar :items [view-menu]))
[...]

toggle-full-screen runs when F11 is pressed however I can't figure out how to make the frame fullscreen.

Why was this downvoted? I'm very curious since it's quite an old question. Still relevant though and not a duplicate, badly worded, etc. – Brumal

Caveat scriptor, I haven't tried this in seesaw but I think this is mostly about directly leveraging what is available in swing.

The following suggests what can be done with the swing API: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/mkarg/archive/2010/01/03/fullscreen-mode-cool

Also: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html

At least part of the trick is to call setUndecorated on the frame.

I haven't investigated how you get at the necessary swing objects within seesaw yet.

This seems right. Seesaw doesn't wrap the Swing objects at all so you can call setUndecorated directly on the result of (to-root e) in toggle-full-screen. – Secure

Yes, the linked article works just fine with Seesaw. In fact, bleeding edge Seesaw now supports it directly: github.com/daveray/seesaw/blob/develop/test/seesaw/test/… – Secure
