Bug Description

The key <F> only works ingame, but not in settings dialog or elsewhere. This is really disturbing, when you need to switch to the desktop from fullscreen mode, but need to stop the game to do so.

That's something I find disturbing, too. I normally start in windowed mode just to have the possibility to switch to another desktop while loading a saved game. Especially in a game with three tribes the animations need a while...

Fullscreen toogle is officially not supported by SDL and only available in a hackish manner for linux. Some developer fixed it in because he wanted it to. So don't hold your breath on seeing this implemented.

You're sure? I only know another SDL application in Perl, but there fullscreen toggle is part of the SDL (Perl) core.

It seems like it has vanished from SDL 1.3, so the functionality will vanish from widelands as well soon.

Since this is not even possible in future SDL releases (and doesn't work right now in Mac/Win builds anyway), shouldn't we set this bug to Won't fix?

Well, there is always the possibility to kill and reinitialize the whole graphics system. Toggling would then be possible.

Whether we wish to expand the fullscreen toogle to the main menu as well should probably await the conclusion of bug 536500.
