..subject line pretty much sums it up. =p Have to set to windowed to be able to switch, which means either having the bottom of the screen cut off if I set it at full (due to the menu bar at the top), or I'm running in a smaller window.

I don't know of any Mac apps that let you task switch in true fullscreen.

Er.. Spore, just released, can. Jade Empires. And those are running via cider.

Yeah, that's actually a result of the way they do fullscreen. The proper way to do it is actually making the app fullscreen, the way those games do it is by making a window the size of the screen that covers the menu bar and dock. Programs running in proper fullscreen can't be command-tabbed out of. What you can do, to make the game approximately fullscreen, is open ~/Library/Preferences/com.bit-blot.aquaria.xml (Where ~ is your home directory) and change line 16 (<ScreenMode resx="<yourscreenreshere>" resy="<yourscreenreshere>" bits="32" fbuffer="1" full="0") so that resy=your screen height in pixels minus 44 and resx=your screen width in pixels. This will, essentially, make the game window the size of your screen minus the menu and title bar.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those aren't true fullscreen, they're just big windows. I think its helps framerates slightly to have the real fullscreen mode that gets direct access to the screen rather than going through the window rendering system.

Thanks PiSketch, I'll play with that and see how it works!
(reaaaaally liking the game so far!)
