SUMMARY

The only default visualizations that are designed to work in Full Screen mode are the Plenoptic and Ambience visualizations. The Ambience visualization can be run in Full Screen mode with any color setting; however, the Plenoptic visualization should be in True Color (32 bit) mode to work. When you want to activate Full Screen mode, either press ALT+ENTER, or, on the View menu, click Full Screen. The Particle, Spikes, Bars and Waves, and Musical Colors visualizations do not run in Full Screen and the Full Screen command is unavailable (appears dimmed) on the View menu.

MORE INFORMATION

If you want to change the properties of your existing visualizations or add new visualizations, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Visualizations tab. If you click Properties, you can edit the resolution; however, the only default visualizations that you can edit are Ambience and Plenoptic. You can change the resolution for Full Screen mode, and also change the Offscreen Buffer Size.
