Not full-screen after all

by Lloyd McLean on Thu, June 16, 2011

One of the features of the upcoming release of OS X Lion, is full-screen applications.

This can be great for getting rid of everything else and just concentrating on the task at hand.

However, a report on the MacRumors site today points out that perhaps this doesn’t work so well for those of us who have multiple monitors set up.

The displays of the other monitors are dimmed, meaning that in a multi-monitor environment, the full-screen mode becomes useless.

I certainly hope that Apple fixes this for a future release.  As somebody who has a multi-monitor setup, I quite like the idea of being able to go full-screen on my primary monitor, whilst still having other applications (ie. mail, safari) open on other monitors.
